 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 1975 The northeastern U.S. was in the grips of a severe storm
            which produced hurricane force winds along the coast, and
            two to three feet of snow in Maine and New Hampshire.
            Winds atop Mount Washington NH gusted to 140 mph. The
            biggest snowstorm of record for so late in the season
            paralyzed Chicago IL.  Up to 20 inches of snow fell in
            extreme northeastern Illinois, and 10.9 inches of snow
            closed Chicago's O'Hare Airport.
    In 1982 Severe thunderstorms spawned fifty-six tornadoes in the
            central U.S., including seventeen in the Red River Region
            of Texas and Oklahoma.  The tornadoes claimed thirty lives,
            and injured 383 other persons.  A violent tornado near
            Messer OK left only the carpet tack strips on the slab of
            a house it destroyed, and carried a motel sign thirty miles.
            The tornadoes also raged across Arkansas from the southwest
            to the north central sections. 13 fatalities were reported
            across Arkansas. The most significant tornado in this
            outbreak occurred at Paris, Texas.
    In 1987 Eleven cities in Florida reported record low temperatures
            for the date, including Tallahassee with a reading of 31
            degrees. The low of 48 degrees at Key West smashed their
            previous record for the date by 13 degrees.
            (2nd-5th) A late-season snowstorm set the North Carolina
            state snow record with 60 inches at Newfound Gap, and also
            showered 6 inches of snow in Birmingham, Alabama...and gave
            Mobile their first ever April flurries.
    In 1988 Thunderstorms produced up to nine inches of rain around
            New Orleans, Lousiana, causing 18 million dollars damage.
            A tornado caused three million dollars damage at Slidell,
            Louisiana.
    In 1989 Strong and gusty winds prevailed from California to Colorado
            and Wyoming.  Winds gusted to 50 mph at Lancaster CA, and
            reached 85 mph at Berthoud Pass CO.  Snow and high winds
            created blizzard conditions in the Colorado Rockies.
    In 1990 Thunderstorms produced severe weather in North Carolina and
            Virginia during the afternoon and evening.  Thunderstorms
            produced golf ball size hail, and spawned a tornado near
            Chester VA which caused half a million dollars damage.
            A storm system produced snow and gale force winds across
            northern Michigan, with 8.3 inches of snow reported at
            Marquette.   Temperatures in the north central U.S. soared
            from morning lows in the 20s and 30s to afternoon highs
            in the 60s and 70s.  Eight cities reported record highs for
            the date, including Havre MT with a reading of 77 degrees.
