   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 1780 The coldest day of the coldest month of record in the
           northeastern U.S.  A British Army thermometer in New York
           City registered a reading of 16 degrees below zero.
           During that infamous hard winter the harbor was frozen
           solid for five weeks, and the port was cut off from sea
           supply.
   In 1943 (23rd-24th) A 24-hour precipitation record was set for
           California when Hoegees Camp (in the San Gabriel Mountains)
           measured 26.12".
   In 1971 The temperature at Prospect Creek AK plunged to 80 degrees
           below zero, the coldest reading of record for the United
           States.
   In 1987 Strong winds ushered bitterly cold air into the north
           central U.S., and produced snow squalls in the Great Lakes
           Region. Snowfall totals in northwest Lower Michigan ranged
           up to 17 inches in Leelanau County.  Wind chill temperatures
           reached 70 degrees below zero at Sault Ste Marie MI and
           Hibbing MN.
   In 1988 Northeastern Colorado experienced its most severe windstorm
           in years.  A wind gust to 92 mph was recorded at Boulder CO
           before the anenometer blew away, and in the mountains, a
           wind gust to 120 mph was reported at Mines Peak.  The high
           winds blew down a partially constructed viaduct east of
           Boulder, as nine unanchored concrete girders, each weighing
           forty-five tons, were blown off their supports.
   In 1989 Low pressure brought heavy snow to Wyoming, with 18 inches
           reported at the Shoshone National Forest, and 17 inches in
           the Yellowstone Park area.  Gunnison CO, with a low of 19
           degrees below zero, was the cold spot in the nation for
           the twelfth day in a row.
   In 1990 A Pacific cold front brought strong and gusty winds to the
           northwestern U.S.  Winds in southeastern Idaho gusted to 62
           mph at Burley.  Strong winds also prevailed along the
           eastern slopes of the northern and central Rockies.  Winds
           in Wyoming gusted to 74 mph in Goshen County.
