   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 1935 Suffocating dust storms occurred frequently in
           southeastern Colorado between the 12th and the 25th of
           the month.  Six people died, and many livestock starved
           or suffocated.  Up to six feet of dust covered the
           ground.  Schools were closed, and many rural homes were
           deserted by tenants.
   In 1950 Timberline Lodge reported 246 inches of snow on the
           ground, a record for the state of Oregon.
   In 1956 The second heavy snowstorm in just three days hit
           Boston.  Nearby Blue Hill received 19.5 inches
           contributing to their snowiest March of record.
   In 1987 A storm in the western U.S. produced rain and snow from
           the northern and central Pacific coast to the northern
           and central Rockies.  Heavier snowfall totals included
           13 inches at Clear Creek UT, 12 inches at Snow Camp CA
           and Glacier Park MT, and 10 inches at Kayenta AZ.  Wind
           gusts reached 54 mph at Winslow AZ.
   In 1988 Seven cities in California and Nevada reported new
           record high temperatures for the date as readings
           soared into the 80s and lower 90s.  Los Angeles CA
           reported a record high of 89 degrees.  Five cities in
           south central Texas reported record lows, including
           El Paso, with a reading of 22 degrees.
   In 1989 Six cities reported new record low temperatures for the
           date as cold arctic air settled into the Upper Midwest
           for Palm Sunday, including Marquette MI with a reading
           of 11 degrees below zero.
   In 2003 (18th-20th) While a springlike storm was bringing severe
           thunderstorms and tornadoes to the lower Mississippi
           Valley, and along the Gulf Coast (tornadoes in Georgia
           killed 6, and injured over 200)...a late winter storm
           hit portions of Colorado and Wyoming with blizzard
           conditions, and over 2 feet of snow in some areas. Both
           Denver, CO and Cheyenne, WY were particularly hard hit.
