   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 1870 The term "blizzard" was used for the first time to describe
           a storm with heavy snow and high winds, that struck Iowa
           and Minnesota.
   In 1944 A single storm brought a record 21.6 inches of snow to
           Salt Lake City UT.
   In 1960 Northern Georgia was between snowstorms.  Gainesville
           GA received 17 inches of snow during the month, and
           reported at least a trace of snow on the ground 22 days
           in March.  Snow was on roofs in Hartwell GA from the
           2nd to the 29th.
   In 1987 A powerful storm in the western U.S. produced 15 inches
           of snow in the Lake Tahoe Basin of Nevada, and wind
           gusts to 50 mph at Las Vegas NV.  Thunderstorms in the
           Sacramento Valley of California spawned a tornado which
           hit a turkey farm near Corning.
   In 1988 Squalls in the Great Lakes Region continued to produce
           heavy snow in northwest Wisconsin and Upper Michigan,
           and produced up to 14 inches of snow in northeast Ohio.
           Poplar WI reported 27 inches of snow in two days.
   In 1989 High winds in Colorado and Wyoming gusted above 120 mph
           at Horsetooth Heights CO.  High winds in the Central
           Plains sharply reduced visibilities in blowing dust as
           far east as Kansas City MO.  Winds gusting to 72 mph at
           Hill City KS reduced the visibility to a city block in
           blowing dust.  Soil erosion in northwest Kansas damaged
           nearly five million acres of wheat.
   In 1990 Fifty-three cities reported record high temperatures
           for the date as readings warmed into the 70s and 80s
           from the Gulf coast to the Great Lakes Region.
           Charleston WV was the hot spot in the nation with
           a record high of 89 degrees.  It was the fourth of five
           consecutive days with record warm tempeatures for many
           cities in the eastern U.S.  There were 283 daily record
           highs reported in the central and eastern U.S. between
           the 11th and the 15th of March.
   In 2002 Dense fog caused a 125 vehicle pile-up on Interstate 75
           near Catoosa, Georgia.
