    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 1761 A hurricane struck southeastern New England.  It was the
            most violent in thirty years.  Thousands of trees blocked
            roads in Massachsuetts and Rhode Island.
    In 1843 "Indian Summer" was routed by cold and snow that brought
            sleighing from the Poconos to Vermont.  A foot of snow
            blanketed Haverhill NH and Newberry VT, and 18 to 24
            inches were reported in some of the higher elevations.
            Snow stayed on the ground until the next spring.  (22nd-
            23rd)
    In 1987 Thirteen cities in the southeastern U.S. reported record
            low temperatures for the date.  It marked the sixth
            record low of the month for Greer SC and Columbia SC, and
            the ninth of the month for Montgomery AL. Showers and
            thunderstorms deluged Corpus Christi TX with five inches
            of rain.  Winnemucca NV reported their first measurable
            rain in ninety-two days, and Yakima WA reported a record
             96 days in a row without measurable rainfall.
    In 1988 Denver CO reported their first freeze of the autumn, and
            Chicago IL reported their first snow.  In Texas,
            afternoon highs of 93 degrees at Austin and San Antonio
            were records for the date.
    In 1989 A storm moving out of the Gulf of Alaska brought rain and
            high winds to the Central Pacific Coast Region.  High
            winds in Nevada gusted to 67 mph at Reno, and
            thunderstorms around Redding CA produced wind gusts to 66
            mph.  Locally heavy rains in the San Francisco area
            caused numerous mudslides, adding insult to injury for
            earthquake victims.
    In 2015 Category 5 Hurricane Patricia, in the Eastern Pacific
            basin, became the strongest hurricane ever recorded in
            the National Hurricane Center's area of responsibility,
            with data reported by Hurricane Hunter Aircraft, of 200
            mph winds, gusts to 245 mph, and a central pressure of
            879 millibars, or 25.96 inches. The remnants of Patricia
            caused widespread, extensive flooding across south Texas
            just days after landfall in southwest Mexico.
