In 1717 What was perhaps the greatest snow in New England history
commenced on this date. During a ten day period a series
of four snowstorms dumped three feet of snow upon Boston,
and the city was snowbound for two weeks. Up to six feet
of snow was reported farther to the north, and drifts
covered many one story homes.
In 1969 A record snowstorm in Maine came to an end. Two to four
feet of snow buried southern and central Maine, with a
state record of 57 inches reported at West Forks. Drifts
covered many single story homes, and the weight of the
snow collapsed many roofs. Two to four feet of snow also
buried northeastern Vermont and northeastern
Massachusetts. In New Hampshire, Mount Washington NH
reported 97.8 inches of snow, a record storm total for
New England. (24th-28th)
In 1986 (24th-28th) Record warmth covered much of the western US:
Phoenix, Arizona was at 94; Los Angeles, California was at
94 (24th); San Francisco, California was at 81 (26th).
In 1987 A storm spread heavy snow into the Central High Plains
Region, and produced severe thunderstorms in the Southern
Plains. Snowfall totals in western Nebraska ranged up to
19 inches at Sydney. Severe thunderstorms in Oklahoma
produced baseball size hail at Stringtown and Atoka. A
storm in the eastern U.S. produced heavy rain over the
Carolinas, and heavy snow in the southern Appalachians
and piedmont region. Five inches of rain left four feet
of water in the streets of Greenville SC. Snowfall
totals in southwestern Virginia ranged up to 20 inches.
In 1988 Thunderstorms along a cold front produced heavy rain
in southern California, with 2.52 inches reported in
Ventura County. Strong winds accompanying the rain
gusted to 55 mph in the Tehachapi Mountains. Rapid City
SD established a February record with an afternoon high
of 75 degrees.
In 1989 Rain and snow prevailed in the southeastern U.S. Up to
eight inches of snow blanketed north central Tennessee,
and snowfall totals in western North Carolina ranged up
to 14 inches at Mount Mitchell.
In 1990 A winter storm produced heavy snow in southeastern
Colorado, with 12 inches reported at Lamar. The same
storm produced severe thunderstorms over the Southern
High Plains, with wind gusts to 93 mph reported at the
White Sands Missile Range in New Mexico. Low pressure
brought high winds to the Prince William Sound area of
Alaska. Big River Lakes reported wind gusts to 92 mph.
