Today is Sunday  April 23, 2017.
This is the 113rd day of the year, there are 252 days left.

On this day...
   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 1885 The city of Denver CO was in the midst of a storm which
           produced 23 inches of snow in 24 hours, and at Idaho Springs
           CO produced 32 inches of snow.
   In 1910 The temperature at the Civic Center in Los Angeles CA hit
           100 degrees to establish an April record for the city.
   In 1983 A mini-blizzard produced sixteen inches of snow at Laramie
           WY, including a foot of snow in just 8 hours during the
           night.
   In 1986 (22nd-23rd) An unusually late snowfall in Pennsylvania (up
           to 30 inches in the Poconos) created traffic jams with 20
           mile backups.
   In 1987 Thunderstorms in the Atlantic Coast Region produced golf
           ball size hail and wind gusts to 67 mph at Anderson SC.
           The high winds destroyed two planes at the airport, and
           the large hail damaged fifty other planes, and severely
           damaged twenty-three greenhouses.
   In 1988 An intense winter-like storm brought thunderstorms to
           southern California, and produced snow in some of the higher
           elevations. Nine girls at Tustin CA were injured when
           lightning struck the tree under which their softball team
           had taken shelter from the rain.
   In 1989 Salina KS was the hot spot in the nation with a high of 105
           degrees.  The high of 105 degrees established an April record
           for the state of Kansas.  A total of eighteen cities in
           the central U.S. reported record high temperatures for the
           date.
   In 1990 Thunderstorms produced severe weather in West Texas and
           western Oklahoma.  Thunderstorms produced tennis ball size
           hail at Lake McKenzie TX, and at Garden City TX, and
           produced wind gusts to 90 mph at Gage OK.  Thunderstorms
           drenched southeast Minnesota with heavy rain, with 6.6
           inches reported northwest of Browndale. High temperatures
           were mostly in the 80s across the central U.S. The morning
           low of 67 degrees at Fargo ND and afternoon high of 91
           degrees were both records for the date.
   In 2004 (21st-23rd) Heavy rainfall, from 4 to 6 inches, with
           isolated amounts, fell across much of Arkansas. Widespread
           flash flooding resulted.
   In 2012 An unexpected and massive snowstorm affected much of the
           northeast United States, with over a foot of heavy wet snow
           in some areas...bringing down many tree branches, that had
           budded out with spring leaves, due to the mild winter that
           had just ended.
