In 1909 Though fair weather was forecast, President Taft was
inaugurated amidst a furious storm. About ten inches
of wet snow disrupted travel and communications. The
storm drew much criticism against the U.S. Weather
Bureau.
In 1953 Snow was reported on the island of Oahu in Hawaii.
In 1966 A severe blizzard raged across Minnesota and North
Dakota. The blizzard lasted four days producing up to
35 inches of snow, and wind gusting to 100 mph produced
snow drifts 30 to 40 feet high. Bismarck ND reported
zero visibility for 11 hours. Traffic was paralyzed
for three days. (2nd-5th)
In 1987 Rain and high winds prevailed in the northwestern U.S.
A wind gust to 69 mph at Klamath Falls OR was their
highest in 25 years, and winds at the Ashland Ranger
Station in the Siskiyou Mountains of northern
California reached 85 mph.
In 1988 Snow and freezing rain made travel hazardous in Ohio
and Indiana. A six car pile-up resulted near Columbus
OH, with seven injuries reported. Up to two inches of
ice glazed central Indiana. Up to ten inches of snow
blanketed northern Ohio.
In 1989 Thunderstorms produced severe weather in the Lower
Mississippi Valley. An (F-3) tornado injured five
persons near Brownsville MS, and killed seven cows and
two hogs in one pasture. Thunderstorm winds gusted to
90 mph at Canton MS.
In 1990 A Pacific cold front working its way across the western
U.S. produced heavy snow over parts of Idaho, Nevada
and Utah. Up to 11 inches of snow blanketed the
valleys of northwest Utah, while 12 to 25 inches fell
across the mountains of northern Utah. Up to 6 inches
of snow blanketed the valleys of east central Nevada,
while more than a foot of snow was reported in the
high elevations. In Idaho, 6 to 8 inches of snow was
reported around Aberdeen and American Falls.
