For more current weather history, go to the National Climate Data Center website at www.ncdc.noaa.gov In 1978 A paralyzing blizzard struck the Midwest. One to three feet of snow fell in Michigan, and 20 to 40 inches was reported across Indiana. Winds reached 70 mph in Michigan, and gusted above 100 mph in Ohio. The high winds produced snow drifts twenty feet high in Michigan and Indiana stranding thousands on the interstates. Temperatures in Ohio dropped from the 40s to near zero during the storm, where 10 inches of snow became 25 foot drifts. In 1983 The California coast was battered by a storm which produced record high tides, thirty-two foot waves, and mudslides, causing millions of dollars damage. The storm then moved east and dumped four feet of snow on Lake Tahoe. (22nd-29th) In 1987 A winter storm spread heavy snow across the Middle and Northern Atlantic Coast States, with 18 inches reported at Vineland NJ, and wind gusts to 65 mph at Chatham MA. Snow cover in Virginia ranged up to thirty inches following this second major storm in just one week. In 1988 A snowstorm in the northeastern U.S. produced 19 inches at Austerlitz NY and Stillwater NY. A storm in the Great Lakes Region left 16.5 inches at Marquette MI, for a total of 43 inches in six days. In 1989 Snow and high winds created blizzard-like conditions in northwestern Vermont. Winds at Saint Albins gusted to 88 mph. In Alaska, the town of Cold Foot (located north of Fairbanks) reported a morning low of 75 degrees below zero. In 1990 A winter storm spread high winds from the northwestern U.S. to Wyoming and Colorado, with heavy snow in some of the high elevations. Stevens Pass WA received 17 inches of snow, half of which fell in four hours. In extreme northwest Wyoming, Togwotee Mountain Lodge received 24 inches of snow. Winds in Colorado gusted to 90 mph at Rollinsville. In 2015 (26th-27th) A major winter storm, with blizzard conditions in some areas, affected much of the northeast United States and New England. While New York got around 8 inches, and Philadelphia got around 5 inches...areas from Long Island, New York to Coastal Maine (including the Boston area), got over 2 feet of snow. Just southeast toward Cape Cod, sea water flowed inland during high tide on the 27th. Homes in Scituate and Marshfield, Massachusetts areas were flooded. Wind gusts from 30 to 70 mph causing huge drifts of snow. --- BgNet 1.0a12 - The Thunderbolt BBS wx1der.dyndns.org Little Rock, AR .
