In 1798 A four day storm was in progress in the northeastern U.S.
The storm dropped a foot of snow on New York City and New
Haven, and as much as three feet in Maine and New
Hampshire. The snowstorm ushered in a long and severe
winter, in some places the ground remained covered with
snow until the following May.
In 1967 Excessive rains in southern California caused the most
severe flooding and the most damaging mudslides in
33 years. Downtown Los Angeles received eight inches of
rain, and 14 inches fell in the mountains.
In 1985 Hurricane Kate made landfall during the evening hours
near Mexico Beach FL. Wind gusts to 100 mph were
reported at Cape San Blas FL. It was the latest
known hurricane to hit the U.S. so far north.
In 1987 Squalls in the Lower Great Lakes Region and the Upper
Ohio Valley produced 14 inches of snow at Snowshoe WV,
and nearly eight inches at Syracuse NY. Eleven cities in
the eastern U.S. reported record low temperatures for the
date. Record lows included 21 at Pinson AL, 9 at
Syracuse NY, and 8 at Binghmaton NY. Gale force winds
lashed the Middle and Northern Atlantic Coast, and the
strong northwesterly winds produced wind chill readings
as cold as 30 degrees below zero. Winds gusting to 60
mph at Trumansburg NY toppled a chimney onto a nearby
truck.
In 1988 High winds accompanied rain and snow in the northeastern
U.S. Caribou ME received eight inches of snow in six
hours, and Fort Kent ME was blanketed with a total of
fourteen inches of snow.
In 1989 The storm which produced thunderstorms and high winds in
the northeastern U.S. the previous day, produced snow and
high winds in New England, with blizzard conditions
reported in Maine. Winds gusted to 55 mph at Boston MA,
and reached 58 mph at Augusta ME. Hurricane force winds
were reported off the coast of Maine. Snowfall totals
ranged up to 18 inches at Vanceboro ME, with 17 inches at
South Lincoln VT. There were thirty-five storm-related
injuries in Maine.
In 2000 The Lake Effect Snow Machine was in full force across the
Great Lakes, with many cities receiving huge snow amounts.
Buffalo, NY got over 2 feet of snow.
