than thirty inches of snow on the ground.

In 1988 "Leap Day" proved to be a wet one for southern
California, with 4.76 inches of rain reported at Tommys
Creek in Ventura County. February went out like a lamb
across much of the rest of the nation. Sixteen cities in
the central and western U.S. reported record high
temperatures for the date.
In 2012 During the early morning hours, tornadoes ripped across
southern Missouri and southern Illinois. An EF4 tornado
blased through Harrisburg, Illnois, before daybreak,
killing 6 people. Shortly after midnight, a few hours
before the EF4 tornado, an EF2 tornado tracked through
Highway 76, the main tourist strip, in Branson, Missouri.
The entertainment district was hit, with at least 35
people injured, and several places damaged or destroyed.
