 This is the 28th day of the year, there are 338 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 1922 Snow from the "Knickerbocker" storm in Washington, DC made
            the Knickerbocker movie theater roof collapse, killing 96.
    In 1963 The low of -34 degrees at Cynthiana KY equalled the state
            record established just four days earlier at Bonnieville.
    In 1966 A near blizzard in Arkansas dropped heavy snow statewide,
            accompanied by strong winds. Pine Bluff, southeast of
            Little Rock got 12.5 inches of snow; and many parts of the
            state fell to below zero degrees.
    In 1986 Subfreezing temperatures across central Florida were
            eventually blamed for the collapse of the O-rings on
            Space Shuttle Challenger...that led to its explosion
            just over a minute after liftoff. All aboard were killed.
    In 1987 A storm moving out of the Central Rockies into the
            Northern Plains produced up to a foot of snow in the
            Colorado Rockies, and wind gusts to 99 mph at Boulder CO.
            High winds in Colorado caused 5.6 million dollars damage.
    In 1988 Barometric pressure readings of 30.55 inches at Miami FL,
            30.66 inches at Tampa FL, and 30.72 inches at
            Apalachicola FL were all-time records.
    In 1989 Nome AK reported an all-time record low reading of
            54 degrees below zero, and the temperature at Fairwell AK
            dips to 69 degrees below zero.  Deadhorse AK reported a
            morning low of 49 degrees below zero, and with a wind
            chill reading of 114 degrees below zero.  In the forty-
            eight state area, a winter storm over Colorado produced
            up to 15 inches of snow around Denver.
    In 1990 Strong and gusty winds prevailed across the northwestern
            U.S., and heavy snow continued over the mountains of
            Oregon and Washington State.  In Idaho, Mullan received
            seven inches of snow, and winds gusted to 65 mph
            southeast of Burley.  Heavy rain soaked coastal sections
            of western Oregon.  Rainfall totals of 1.20 inches at
            Portland and 1.57 inches at Eugene were records for the
            date.  Winds in Oregon gusting to 60 mph downed power
            lines in Umatilla County knocking out power to more than
            13,000 homes, just prior to the kick-off of the "Super
            Bowl" game.
    In 2012 (28th-29th) Heavy smoke from nearby brush fires caused
            numerous accidents on Interstate 75 and US 441 in north
            Florida...with both cars and trucks involved. Ten were
            killed, with at least 18 injured.
    In 2014 (28th-29th) Areas from southern Texas...east through the
            Deep South...including Louisiana, Mississippi, Alabama,
            the Florida Panhandle, Georgia, the Carolinas, Virginia,
            and into the DelMarva, experienced a rare winter storm.
            Significant snow and ice fell in several areas.
