   National Weatherperson's Day
   In 1887 Intense cold led to a train derailment over the White River
           at Hartford, Vermont, killing 34 people. San Francisco
           experienced its greatest snowstorm of record. Nearly four
           inches was reported in downtown San Francisco, and the
           western hills of the city received seven inches. Excited
           crowds went on a snowball throwing rampage.
   In 1987 Thunderstorms in the Southern Plains Region caused
           flooding in parts of south central Texas.  Del Rio TX was
           soaked with two inches of rain in two hours prior to
           sunrise.
   In 1988 Cold and snow invaded the southern U.S.  Roswell NM was
           buried under 16.5 inches of snow in 24 hours, an all-time
           record for that location.  Parts of the Central Gulf
           Coast Region reported their first significant snow
           in fifteen years.  Strong winds in Minnesota and the
           Dakotas produced wind chill readings as cold as
           75 degrees below zero.
   In 1989 Severe cold gripped much of the nation.  Thirty cities
           reported new record low temperatures for the date.
           Morning lows of 9 above at Astoria OR and 27 below zero
           at Ely NV were records for February.  In Alaska,
           Point Barrow warmed to 24 degrees above zero, and Nome
           reached 30 degrees.
   In 1990 For the second time in two days, and the third time in a
           week, high winds plagued the northwestern U.S.  Winds in
           Oregon gusted to 60 mph at Cape Disappointment, and wind
           gusts in Washington State reached 67 mph at Bellingham.
           The first in a series of cold fronts began to produce
           heavy snow in the mountains of Washington and Oregon.
           Ten inches of snow fell at Timberline OR.
   In 2004 A winter storm brought heavy snow to northern Arkansas,
           an icy mix across central Arkansas, and heavy rainfall
           across southern Arkansas. Thundersleet occurred across
           parts of central Arkansas, but the sleet melted quickly
           after a brief accumulation.
   In 2008 A moderate to high risk of severe thunderstorms and
           tornadoes covered Arkansas, with one EF-4 tornado being
           on the ground for a record 122 miles. Fourteen people
           died in the outbreak.
