 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 1839 The third storm in two weeks hit the northeastern U.S.
            It brought two more feet of snow to Hartford CT and
            Worcester MA.  Whole gales swept the coast causing many
            wrecks.
    In 1897 The temperature at Dayville OR hit 81 degrees to
            establish a state record for December.
    In 1924 Iowa experienced its coldest December morning of record.
            Morning lows averaged 25 degrees below zero for the
            104 weather stations across the state.
    In 1955 Anchorage AK was buried under 17.7 inches of snow in
            24 hours, a record for that location.  (28th-29th)
    In 1958 Albuquerque NM received 14.2 inches of snow to establish
            a 24 hour record.  (28th-29th)
    In 1987 A winter storm produced heavy snow in the Upper
            Mississippi Valley and the Upper Great Lakes Region.  Up
            to twenty inches of snow buried southern Minnesota, and
            20 to 40 mph northwesterly winds produced snow drifts six
            feet high, and reduced visibilities to near zero at times
            in blowing snow.  There were a thousand traffic accidents
            in Michigan during the storm, resulting in thirty-five
            injuries.
    In 1988 Strong winds behind a cold front claimed three lives
            in eastern Pennsylvania, and injured a dozen others in
            eastern Pennsylvania, southern New Jersey and Maryland.
            Winds gusted to 87 mph at Hammonton NJ and in the
            Washington D.C. area.
    In 1989 Squalls continued to bring snow to the Great Lakes
            Region, with heavy snow reported near Lake Superior and
            Lake Ontario.  Syracuse NY received 8.5 inches of snow to
            push the total for the month past their previous December
            record of 57 inches.
    In 2001 (28th-31st) Montague, NY got just under 10 feet of snow
            (119 inches), from the Lake Effect Snow Machine.
    In 2002 Another in a series of storms battered the west coast
            from Washington south to California. Heavy rains at the
            lower elevations, heavy snow at the higher elevations,
            and strong winds were the rule. Some places in the higher
            elevations had gusts well over 100 mph, the equivalent of
            a category 2 hurricane (28th). The storm would produce
            heavy rain and severe weather across the central and
            southern plains into the southeast U.S. (29th-30th).
