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 1933 The temperature at Moran WY, located next to Teton
National Park, plunged to 63 degrees below zero to
establish a state record. The temperature at the
Riverside Ranger Station in Montana dipped to 66 below
zero to establish a record for the state, and a record
for the nation which stood until 1954.
In 1934 The mercury dipped to 51 degrees below zero at Vanderbilt
to establish a record for the state of Michigan. The
temperature at Stillwater plunged to 52 degrees below
zero to establish a record for the state of New York.
In 1987 A storm off the Atlantic coast produced high winds
and heavy snow in the northeastern U.S., with blizzard
conditions in eastern Massachusetts. Wind gusted to
80 mph and 23.4 inches of snow produced drifts eight feet
high at Cape Cod MA. It was the worst blizzard in thirty
years for the Cape Cod area. Winds in some of the
mountains and ridges of the Appalachian Region gusted to
100 mph.
In 1988 Arctic cold invaded the north central U.S. Alliance NE
plunged from 44 degrees to 12 above in just two hours,
and Mobridge SD reported a wind chill of 64 degrees below
zero. Winds along the eastern slopes of the Rockies
gusted to 90 mph at Cheyenne WY, and reached 96 mph at
Boulder CO.
In 1989 A winter storm continued to bring rain and snow to
southern California. Snowfall totals ranged up to
18 inches at Olancha, with three inches at Palmdale.
In 1990 Thunderstorms developing ahead of a cold front erupted
over eastern Texas late in the morning, and produced
severe weather as they swept across the southeastern
states. Early evening thunderstorms spawned a tornado
which injured one person at Nat TX, and produced tennis
ball size hail which cuased more than half a million
dollars damage around Shreveport LA.
In 1994 (9th-11th) A statewide ice storm struck Arkansas, with
the most damage in south and east Arkansas. Some areas
were without electricity for 2 weeks.
In 2001 Over the next week, huge amounts of rainfall would fall
across Arkansas...with many areas receiving over 6 inches
of rain...along with severe flooding. (9th-17th).
In 2002 Very strong winds affected much of the central and
western United States. Areas from California to Colorado
to the Dakotas to Nebraska to Wisconsin were affected.
Gusts from over 50 mph to near 100 mph were reported.
In 2003 While portions of Austrailia were still reeling from
wildfires, the remnants of Tropical Storm Beni hit near
Rockhampton, dropping 12 inches of rain overnight.
In 2015 Nearly 7 feet of snow had fallen in Boston, Massachusetts
since Jan. 9, 2015...making it the snowiest 30 day period
in history. In fact, 3 straight weekends had massive
winter storms, and the pattern showed no sign of changing.
