at the Yale Campus in New Haven CT plunged to 23 degrees below
zero, and reached 40 below in the Berkshire Hills of
Connecticut. Bitterly cold air gripped the northeastern
U.S. Morning lows of -42 degrees at Smethport PA and

In 1982 A three day rainstorm in the San Francisco area finally came
to an end. Marin County and Cruz County were drenched with
up to 25 inches of rain, and the Sierra Nevada Range was
buried under four to eight feet of snow. The storm claimed
at least 36 lives, and caused more than 300 million dollars
damage.
In 1987 A massive winter storm spread heavy snow from the southwestern
U.S. into the Rockies. In Utah, the Alta ski resort reported
a storm total of 42 inches of snow. Winds gusted to 64 mph at
Albuquerque NM.
In 1988 Thunderstorms helped produce heavy snow in the Lower Great
Lakes Region. Snow fell at the rate of four to five inches
per hour, and snowfall totals ranged up to 69 inches at
Highmarket NY. A strong Pacific cold front produced heavy
snow and high winds in Nevada. Winds gusted to 80 mph north
of Reno, while up to two feet of snow blanketed the Lake
Tahoe ski area.
In 1990 Thunderstorms produced heavy rain in the Central Gulf Coast
Region. New Orleans LA was drenched with 4.05 inches of rain
in 24 hours. An overnight storm blanketed the mountains of
