Weather data after 1990 is PARTIAL. For more current

In 1960 Eastern Massachusetts' greatest March snowstorm of
record began to abate. The storm produced record
24 hour snowfall totals of 27.2 inches at Blue Hill
Observatory, 17.7 inches at Worcester, and 16.6 inches
at Boston. Winds gusted to 70 mph. (3rd-5th)
In 1962 A tremendous storm raged along the Atlantic coast.
The great Atlantic storm caused more than 200 million
dollars property damage from Florida to New England.
Winds along the Middle Atlantic Coast reached 70 mph
raising forty foot waves, and as much as 33 inches of
snow blanketed the mountains of Virginia. The Virginia
shoreline was rearranged by historic tidal flooding
caused by the combination of the long stretch of strong
onshore winds and the "Spring Tides".
In 1978 (1st-5th) Major flooding on the Salt and Verde River basins
of Arizona washed away 8 Phoenix bridge approaches.
In 1987 A storm in the western U.S. produced heavy rain and
high winds in California. Up to six inches of rain
soaked the San Francisco Bay area in 24 hours, and
winds gusted to 100 mph at the Wheeler Ridge Pumping
Plant near the Tehachapi Mountains.
In 1988 While snow blanketed eastern Kansas and northern
Oklahoma, eight cities in North Dakota reported new
record high temperatures for the date. The afternoon
high of 61 degrees at Bismarck ND was 27 degrees warmer
than that at Chanute KS.
In 1989 Thunderstorms produced severe weather in the
southeastern U.S. A (F-2) tornado killed one person
and injured six others in Heard County GA. A (F-3)
tornado injured 23 persons and caused more than five
million dollars damage around Grantville GA.
In 1990 Thunderstorms over eastern Colorado, developing ahead
of a major storm system, produced up to three inches
of small hail around Colorado Springs during the late
morning and early afternoon. Strong thunderstorms
swept through southeastern sections of the Denver area
during the evening hours. These strong thunderstorms
also produced up to three inches of small hail, along
with wind gusts to 50 mph, and as much as 2.4 inches of
rain.
In 2004 Overnight heavy rain of up to 4 inches, caused widespread
flash flooding across Missouri. Numerous rivers and low
water crossings were closed, with as much as 3 feet of
water over them. Flash flooding also affected Oklahoma
and Kansas.
