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 1777 The Battle of Germantown was fought in a morning fog that
           grew more dense with the smoke of battle, causing great
           confusion.  Americans firing at each other contributed to
           the loss of the battle.
   In 1869 A great storm struck New England.  The storm reportedly
           was predicted twelve months in advance by a British
           officer named Saxby.  Heavy rains and high floods plagued
           all of New England, with strong winds and high tides over
           New Hampshire and Maine.  Canton CT was deluged with
           12.35 inches of rain.
   In 1969 Denver CO received 9.6 inches of snow.  October of that
           year proved to be the coldest and snowiest of record for
           Denver, with a total snowfall for the month of
           31.2 inches.
   In 1986 Excessive flooding was reported along the Mississippi
           River and all over the Midwest, from Ohio to the Milk
           River in Montana.  In some places it was the worst
           flooding of record. During heavy rains, a motorist was
           killed near Rankin, Texas after her car was swept over
           a mile through rushing water.
   In 1987 A storm brought record snows to the northeastern U.S.
           Snowfall totals ranged up to 21 inches at North
           Springfield VT.  It was the earliest snow of record for
           some locations.  The storm claimed 17 lives, in central
           New York State injured 332 persons, and in Vermont caused
           seventeen million dollars damage.  The six inch snow at
           Albany NY was their earliest measurable snow in 117 years
           of records. Southern California continued to "shake and
           bake". An earthquake was reported during the morning, the
           second in a matter of days, and during the afternoon,
           temperatures soared well above 100 degrees.  Highs of 100
           degrees at San Francisco, and 108 degrees at Los Angeles
           and Santa Maria, were October records.  San Luis Obispo
           was the hot spot in the nation with a high of 111 degrees.
   In 1988 Temperatures dipped below freezing in the north central
           U.S.  Five cities in North Dakota and Nebraska reported
           record low temperatures for the date, including Bismarck
           ND with a reading of 17 degrees above zero.  Low pressure
           brought snow and sleet to parts of Upper Michigan.
   In 1989 Unseasonably cold weather continued in the north central
           U.S., with freezing temperatures reported across much of
           the area from eastern North Dakota to Michigan and
           northwest Ohio.  Thirteen cities reported record low
           temperatures for the date, including Saint Cloud MN,
           which was the cold spot in the nation with a morning low
           of 19 degrees.
   In 2011 A massive dust storm moved through Arizona, about 20 miles
           north of Tucson, causing a chain reaction multiple vehicle
           crash. Minimal visibility was reported on Interstate 10,
           with at least one person killed, and two sustaining
           critical injuries.
   In 2013 While severe thunderstorms and tornadoes were out ahead
           of a strong cold front in Iowa and east Nebraska...a
           massive blizzard was raging in parts of Wyoming, west
           Nebraska, and the Dakotas. Wayne, Nebraska was hit by an
           EF-4 tornado.
