Today is Wednesday  January 6, 2016.
This is the 6th day of the year, there are 360 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 1880 Seattle WA was in the midst of their worst snowstorm of
           record.  Hundreds of barns were destroyed, and transportation
           was brought to a standstill, as the storm left the city
           buried under four feet of snow.
   In 1884 The temperature dipped to one degree below zero at Atlanta
           GA. It marked the final day of a severe arctic outbreak in
           the South and Midwest.
   In 1987 A storm moving across the western U.S. spread heavy snow into
           the Central Rockies.  Casper WY received 14 inches of snow in
           24 hours, a January record for that location.  Big Piney WY
           reported 17 inches of snow.
   In 1988 It was a bad day for chickens.  Heavy snow in Arkansas, with
           totals ranging up to 16 inches at Heber Springs, killed 3.5
           million chickens, and snow and ice up to three inches thick
           claimed the lives of another 1.75 million chickens in north
           central Texas. Two million chickens in Alabama also died. Up
           to 18 inches of snow blanketed Oklahoma, with Oklahoma City
           reporting a record 12 inches of snow in 24 hours.
   In 1989 A "bonafide blizzard" ripped through south central and
           southeastern Idaho.  Strong winds, gusting to 60 mph at
           the Fort Hall Indian Reservation, whipped the snow into
           drifts five feet high, and produced wind chill readings as
           cold as 35 degrees below zero. The blizzard prompted an
           Idaho Falls air controller to remark that "the snow is
           blowing so hard you can't see the fog".
   In 1990 Rain and gale force winds prevailed along the Northern
           Pacific Coast. Winds at Astoria OR gusted to 65 mph.
           Unseasonably warm weather prevailed over Florida.  Five
           cities reported record high temperatures for the date,
           including Miami with a reading of 86 degrees.  The hot
           spot in the nation was West Palm Beach with a high of 87
           degrees.
