 On this day...
    Weather data after 1990 is PARTIAL. For more current
    weather history, go to the National Climate Data Center
    website at www.ncdc.noaa.gov
    In 1960 Eastern Massachusetts' greatest March snowstorm of
            record began to abate.  The storm produced record
            24 hour snowfall totals of 27.2 inches at Blue Hill
            Observatory, 17.7 inches at Worcester, and 16.6 inches
            at Boston.  Winds gusted to 70 mph.  (3rd-5th)
    In 1962 A tremendous storm raged along the Atlantic coast.
            The great Atlantic storm caused more than 200 million
            dollars property damage from Florida to New England.
            Winds along the Middle Atlantic Coast reached 70 mph
            raising forty foot waves, and as much as 33 inches of
            snow blanketed the mountains of Virginia.  The Virginia
            shoreline was rearranged by historic tidal flooding
            caused by the combination of the long stretch of strong
            onshore winds and the "Spring Tides".
    In 1978 (1st-5th) Major flooding on the Salt and Verde River basins
            of Arizona washed away 8 Phoenix bridge approaches.
    In 1987 A storm in the western U.S. produced heavy rain and
            high winds in California.  Up to six inches of rain
            soaked the San Francisco Bay area in 24 hours, and
            winds gusted to 100 mph at the Wheeler Ridge Pumping
            Plant near the Tehachapi Mountains.
    In 1988 While snow blanketed eastern Kansas and northern
            Oklahoma, eight cities in North Dakota reported new
            record high temperatures for the date.  The afternoon
            high of 61 degrees at Bismarck ND was 27 degrees warmer
            than that at Chanute KS.
    In 1989 Thunderstorms produced severe weather in the
            southeastern U.S.  A (F-2) tornado killed one person
            and injured six others in Heard County GA.  A (F-3)
            tornado injured 23 persons and caused more than five
            million dollars damage around Grantville GA.
    In 1990 Thunderstorms over eastern Colorado, developing ahead
            of a major storm system, produced up to three inches
            of small hail around Colorado Springs during the late
            morning and early afternoon.  Strong thunderstorms
            swept through southeastern sections of the Denver area
            during the evening hours.  These strong thunderstorms
            also produced up to three inches of small hail, along
            with wind gusts to 50 mph, and as much as 2.4 inches of
            rain.
    In 2004 Overnight heavy rain of up to 4 inches, caused widespread
            flash flooding across Missouri. Numerous rivers and low
            water crossings were closed, with as much as 3 feet of
            water over them. Flash flooding also affected Oklahoma
            and Kansas.
