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 1761 A hurricane struck southeastern New England.  It was the
           most violent in thirty years.  Thousands of trees blocked
           roads in Massachsuetts and Rhode Island.
   In 1843 "Indian Summer" was routed by cold and snow that brought
           sleighing from the Poconos to Vermont.  A foot of snow
           blanketed Haverhill NH and Newberry VT, and 18 to 24
           inches were reported in some of the higher elevations.
           Snow stayed on the ground until the next spring.  (22nd-
           23rd)
   In 1987 Thirteen cities in the southeastern U.S. reported record
           low temperatures for the date.  It marked the sixth
           record low of the month for Greer SC and Columbia SC, and
           the ninth of the month for Montgomery AL. Showers and
           thunderstorms deluged Corpus Christi TX with five inches
           of rain.  Winnemucca NV reported their first measurable
           rain in ninety-two days, and Yakima WA reported a record
            96 days in a row without measurable rainfall.
   In 1988 Denver CO reported their first freeze of the autumn, and
           Chicago IL reported their first snow.  In Texas,
           afternoon highs of 93 degrees at Austin and San Antonio
           were records for the date.
   In 1989 A storm moving out of the Gulf of Alaska brought rain and
           high winds to the Central Pacific Coast Region.  High
           winds in Nevada gusted to 67 mph at Reno, and
           thunderstorms around Redding CA produced wind gusts to 66
           mph.  Locally heavy rains in the San Francisco area
           caused numerous mudslides, adding insult to injury for
           earthquake victims.
   In 2015 Category 5 Hurricane Patricia, in the Eastern Pacific
           basin, became the strongest hurricane ever recorded in
           the National Hurricane Center's area of responsibility,
           with data reported by Hurricane Hunter Aircraft, of 200
           mph winds, gusts to 245 mph, and a central pressure of
           879 millibars, or 25.96 inches. The remnants of Patricia
           caused widespread, extensive flooding across south Texas
           just days after landfall in southwest Mexico.
