    In 1957 A tornado swept across Jackson, Williamson and Franklin
            Counties in southern Illinois killing eleven persons.
    In 1981 A heavy lake-effect snow blanketed the southern and
            southeastern shores of Lake Michigan leaving up to
            22 inches of snow at Valparaiso IN.
    In 1983 Record cold hit the north central states.  At Havre MT
            the mercury plunged to a record reading of 34 degrees
            below zero.
    In 1984 A storm over southern California left up to 16 inches of
            snow in the mountains and upper deserts, with 13 inches
            reported at Lancaster.  Edwards AFB was closed, and
            Interstate-5 was closed from Castaic to the Tehachapis
            Mountains.  (18th-19th)
    In 1986 A strong winter storm, which developed off the
            coast of New Jersey and moved out to sea, lashed the
            northeastern U.S. with high winds, heavy rain, and heavy
            snow.  The storm left snowfall amounts of up to 30 inches
            in Vermont, 24 inches in Massachusetts, and 20 inches in
            New Hampshire.  The highest rainfall amounts approached
            four inches in southern New England, where winds gusted
            to 70 mph.
    In 1987 A weakening storm moved into the Rocky Mountain Region
            producing six inches of snow at the Platoro Reservoir in
            the San Juan Mountains of Colorado.  The storm then
            spread rain and drizzle across the Southern High Plains
            and into the Middle Mississippi Valley, with thunderstorms
            over Texas.
    In 1988 Warm weather prevailed in the central U.S. while cool
            weather prevailed across the eastern states.  Sheridan
            WY, with a record warm afternoon high of 68 degrees, was
            seven degrees warmer than Key West FL.
    In 1989 A winter storm moving out of the Great Plains Region
            spread freezing rain, sleet and snow across parts of the
            southeastern U.S.  Freezing rain resulted in 170 auto
            accidents in the Memphis area during the evening hours.
            Unseasonably warm weather continued ahead of arctic cold
            front.  Miami FL equalled their record for December with
            a high of 87 degrees.
