In 1786 A second great snowstorm in just five days brought
another 15 inches of snow to Morristown NJ, on top of the
8 inches which fell on the 7th and 8th, and the 18 inches
which fell on the 4th and 5th. The total snowfall for
the week was thus 41 inches. New Haven CT received 17
inches of new snow in the storm. Up to four feet of
snow covered the ground in eastern Massachusetts
following the storms. (9th-10th)
In 1917 A severe winter storm struck the Ohio Valley and the
Great Lakes Region. It produced 25 inches of snow
and wind gusts to 78 mph at Buffalo NY. The storm
produced 26 inches of snow at Vevay IN, with drifts
fourteen feet high. By the 16th of the month people
could walk across the frozen Ohio River from Vavey into
Kentucky. (8th-9th)
In 1987 The fifth storm in nine days kept the northwestern U.S.
wet and windy. Winds along the coast of Washington
gusted to 75 mph at Oceans Shores and at Hoquiam, and the
northern and central coastal mountains of Oregon were
drenched with three inches of rain in ten hours, flooding
some rivers. Snowfall totals in the Cascade Mountains of
Washington State ranged up to 36 inches in the Methow
Valley. High winds in Oregon blew a tree onto a moving
automobile killing three persons and injuring two others
at Mill City.
In 1988 A winter storm blanketed the Southern and Central
Appalachians with up to ten inches of snow. Arctic air
invaded the north central U.S. bringing subzero cold to
Minnesota and North Dakota.
In 1989 A strong storm produced wind gusts of 40 to 65 mph from
the Alaska Peninsula to the North Gulf Coast of Alaska.
Southeasterly winds gusted to 75 mph in the Anchorage
hillside. Gusty winds associated with a strong cold
front caused a power outage across much of the island of
Hawaii.
In 2003 A Gale Center in the far Eastern Atlantic Ocean acquired
tropical characteristics, becoming Tropical Storm Peter,
the 16th named storm of the 2003 Atlantic Hurricane Season.
The storm briefly became a hurricane, according to satellite
estimates...but merged with a cold front and became
extratropical within a short time. (9th-10th)
