Today is Sunday  January 3, 2016.
This is the 3rd day of the year, there are 363 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 1777 An overnight freeze enabled George Washington and his troops
           to flank the British at Trenton, cross their lines at
           Princeton, and seek security in the hills of northern
           New Jersey.
   In 1949 A tornado hit Warren in southern Arkansas, killing 57 people.
           Several other tornadoes were noted across the state that day.
   In 1961 A three day long icestorm was in progress over northern Idaho
           which produced an accumulation of ice eight inches thick,
           a U.S. record.  Heavy fog, which blanketed much of northern
           Idaho from Grangeville to the Canadian border, deposited the
           ice on power and phone lines causing widespread power outages.
   In 1988 After a day of rest, "Old Man Winter" came back as a triple
           threat, hitting both coasts with winter storms, and blasting
           the central U.S. with cold arctic air.  Snow and ice in the
           eastern U.S. caused 4.5 million dollars damage to homes and
           vehicles in North Carolina, the storm in the western U.S.
           produced two feet of snow in the Lake Tahoe area of Nevada,
           and temperatures in North Dakota plunged to 30 degrees below
           zero, with wind chill readings as cold as 95 degrees below
           zero.
   In 1994 A heavy wet snow blanketed much of the state of Ohio, with
           12 to 18 inches reported in counties along the Ohio River.
           Newport received 21 inches.  Thunder and lightning
           accompanied the snow, with five inches reported in Washington
           County and Noble County between 7 AM and 8 AM Tuesday.  Parts
           of Washington County were without electricity for eight days
           following the storm.
   In 2001 (3rd-5th) An unusual southern winter storm brought snow to
           many areas from Texas, to Alabama, to Georgia, to the Carolinas,
           and on up into the northeast United States. Many flights were
           cancelled at Atlanta's Hartsfield Airport, with many roads shut
           down due to the wintry weather.
