 Today is Sunday  April 23, 2017.
 This is the 113rd day of the year, there are 252 days left.

 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 1885 The city of Denver CO was in the midst of a storm which
            produced 23 inches of snow in 24 hours, and at Idaho Springs
            CO produced 32 inches of snow.
    In 1910 The temperature at the Civic Center in Los Angeles CA hit
            100 degrees to establish an April record for the city.
    In 1983 A mini-blizzard produced sixteen inches of snow at Laramie
            WY, including a foot of snow in just 8 hours during the
            night.
    In 1986 (22nd-23rd) An unusually late snowfall in Pennsylvania (up
            to 30 inches in the Poconos) created traffic jams with 20
            mile backups.
    In 1987 Thunderstorms in the Atlantic Coast Region produced golf
            ball size hail and wind gusts to 67 mph at Anderson SC.
            The high winds destroyed two planes at the airport, and
            the large hail damaged fifty other planes, and severely
            damaged twenty-three greenhouses.
    In 1988 An intense winter-like storm brought thunderstorms to
            southern California, and produced snow in some of the higher
            elevations. Nine girls at Tustin CA were injured when
            lightning struck the tree under which their softball team
            had taken shelter from the rain.
    In 1989 Salina KS was the hot spot in the nation with a high of 105
            degrees.  The high of 105 degrees established an April record
            for the state of Kansas.  A total of eighteen cities in
            the central U.S. reported record high temperatures for the
            date.
    In 1990 Thunderstorms produced severe weather in West Texas and
            western Oklahoma.  Thunderstorms produced tennis ball size
            hail at Lake McKenzie TX, and at Garden City TX, and
            produced wind gusts to 90 mph at Gage OK.  Thunderstorms
            drenched southeast Minnesota with heavy rain, with 6.6
            inches reported northwest of Browndale. High temperatures
            were mostly in the 80s across the central U.S. The morning
            low of 67 degrees at Fargo ND and afternoon high of 91
            degrees were both records for the date.
    In 2004 (21st-23rd) Heavy rainfall, from 4 to 6 inches, with
            isolated amounts, fell across much of Arkansas. Widespread
            flash flooding resulted.
    In 2012 An unexpected and massive snowstorm affected much of the
            northeast United States, with over a foot of heavy wet snow
            in some areas...bringing down many tree branches, that had
            budded out with spring leaves, due to the mild winter that
            had just ended.
