    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 1899 Perhaps the greatest of all arctic outbreaks commenced on
            this date.  The temperature plunged to 61 degrees below
            zero in Montana.  At the same time a "Great Eastern
            Blizzard" left a blanket of snow from Georgia to New
            Hampshire.  The state of Virginia took the brunt of the
            storm, with snowfall totals averaging 30 to 40 inches.
    In 1935 In Ifrane, Morocco, Africa's all-time record cold
            temperature of 11 degrees below zero was set.
    In 1983 The Middle Atlantic Coast States and southern New England
            were in the midst of a major snowstorm.  In Pennsylvania,
            the storm produced 21 inches at Philadelphia, 24 inches
            at Harrisburg, and 25 inches at Allentown, establishing
            record 24 hour totals and single storm totals for those
            locations.  New York City received 22 inches of snow, and
            35 inches was reported at Glen Gary, located in the Blue
            Ridge Mountains of West Virginia.  Windsor Locks CT
            received a record 19 inches of snow in 12 hours.  The
            storm resulted in forty-six deaths, thirty-three of which
            occurred when a freighter capsized and sank off the
            Maryland/Virginia coast.  Heavy snow was reported from
            northeastern Georgia to eastern Maine.  (10th-12th)
    In 1987 Denver CO reported only their third occurrence of record
            of a thunderstorm in February.  Ten cities in the north
            central U.S. reported record high temperatures for the
            date.  Huron SD reported February temperatures averaging
            19 degrees above normal.  Williston ND reported readings
            averaging 24 degrees above normal for February.
    In 1988 Bitter cold air gripped the north central U.S.  Lows of
            35 degrees below zero at Aberdeen SD, Bismarck ND and
            International Falls MN were new records for the date.
            Bemidji MN was, officially, the cold spot in the nation
            with a low of 39 degrees below zero, however, a reading
            of 42 degrees below zero was reported at Gettysburg SD.
            In the Northern High Plains Region, Baker MT warmed from
            27 below zero to 40 above.
    In 1989 While much of the continental U.S. enjoyed sunshine and
            seasonable temperatures, a strong weather system over the
            Hawaiian Islands deluged Honolulu with 2.5 inches of
            rain. 
    In 1990 A winter storm produced up to ten inches of snow in
            Vermont, and up to nine inches of snow in Aroostook
            County of northeastern Maine.  A three day snowstorm
            began to overspread Oregon.  The winter storm produced
            29 inches of snow at Bennett Pass.  Mild weather
            continued in the central U.S.  La Crosse WI reported a
            record forty-seven consecutive days with temperatures
            above normal.
