    In 1893 Thunder and lightning accompanied sleet and snow at Saint
            Louis MO during the evening hours, even though the
            temperature was just 13 degrees above zero. 
    In 1951 The greatest ice storm of record in the U.S.
            produced glaze up to four inches thick from Texas to
            Pennsylvania causing twenty-five deaths, 500 serious
            injuries, and 100 million dollars damage.  Tennessee was
            hardest hit by the storm.  Communications and utilities
            were interrupted for a week to ten days. The temperature
            at Taylor Park Dam plunged to 60 degrees below zero, a
            record for the state of Colorado.
    In 1985 Snow, sleet and ice glazed southern Tennessee and
            northern sections of Louisiana, Mississippi and Alabama.
            The winter storm produced up to eleven inches of sleet
            and ice in Lauderdale County AL, one of the worst storms
            of record for the state.  All streets in Florence AL were
            closed for the first time of record.  (1st-2nd) 
    In 1986 (1st-5th) Dense fog and freezing drizzle brought ice buildups
            of 5 to 8 inches across central North Dakota. About 6000
            homes lost power.
    In 1987 A storm in the Pacific Northwest produced wind gusts to
            100 mph at Cape Blanco OR, and up to six inches of rain
            in the northern coastal mountain ranges.
    In 1988 Thirty cities in the eastern U.S. reported new record
            high temperatures for the date, including Richmond VA
            with a reading of 73 degrees.  Thunderstorms in southern
            Louisiana deluged Basile with 12.34 inches of rain.
            Arctic cold gripped the north central U.S.  Wolf Point MT
            reported a low of 32 degrees below zero.
    In 1989 While arctic cold continued to invade the central U.S.,
            fifty-four cities in the south central and eastern U.S.
            reported new record high temperatures for the date.
            Russell KS, the hot spot in the nation with a high of 84
            degrees the previous day, reported a morning low of 12
            above.  Tioga ND reported a wind chill reading of
            90 degrees below zero.
    In 1990 Thunderstorms developing in response to an upper level
            weather disturbance produced severe weather across the
            eastern half of Texas during the late afternoon and
            evening.  Four persons were injured at Waco TX where
            thunderstorms produced wind gusts to 80 mph.  Thunder-
            storms produced wind gusts to 97 mph at Cotulla TX
            injuring two other persons.  Golf ball size hail
