In 1943 Northern New Hampshire was in the grips of a record
snowstorm which left a total of 55 inches at Berlin, and
56 inches at Randolph. The 56 inch total at Randolph
established a 24 hour snowfall record for the state. In

rain in 24 hours, including .90 inch in six hours. Heavy
snow fell over northern Oregon and the Cascade Mountains
of Washington State. Temperatures began to moderate in
the eastern U.S. following a bitterly cold weekend.
In 1988 Low pressure crossing the Great Basin brought wintry
weather to parts of the western U.S. Up to a foot of
snow blanketed Yellowstone Park, and winds gusted to
70 mph at Casper WY, and reached 95 mph near Reno NV. Up
to seven inches of rain was reported in the Grass Valley

In 1989 Low pressure tracking across the Carolinas brought heavy
rain to parts of the Southern Atlantic Coast Region for
Thanksgiving Day, and blanketed the Middle Atlantic Coast
States and southern New England with heavy snow. The
storm produced up to nine inches of snow over Long Island
NY, and up to 14 inches over Cape Cod MA, at Yarmouth.
Totals of 4.7 inches at New York City and 6.0 inches at
Newark NJ were records for Thanksgiving Day, the 8.0 inch
total at Providence RI was a record for any given day in
November, and the 6.5 inch total at Strasburg CT was a

Several parts of Arkansas got over 4 inches of rain.
In 2001 For the second year in a row, Arkansas and adjacent states
were hit by severe weather on the same days. Several tornadic
thunderstorms along with an intense squall line traversed the
