TODAY Version 3.7 06/24/94 Copyright 1986, 1994 By Patrick Kincaid Today is Saturday December 26, 2015. This is the 360th day of the year, there are 5 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 1776 George Washington crossed the ice clogged Delaware River. He marched on Trenton in the midst of snow and sleet thus surprising and capturing many of the British garrison. In 1947 New York City received a record 26.4 inches of snow in 24 hours, with as much as 32 inches reported in the suburbs. The heavy snow brought traffic to a standstill, and snow removal cost eight million dollars. Thirty thousand persons were called upon to remove the 100 million tons of snow. The storm claimed 27 lives. (26th-27th) In 1983 Miami FL established a December record with a morning low of 33 degrees. Just three days earlier, and again three days later, record warm temperatures were reported in Florida, with daytime highs in the 80s. In 1987 Freezing rain plagued parts of the south central U.S., from northwest Texas to southwest Missouri. Southwest Missouri was turned into a huge skating rink as roads beacme sheets of ice. Damage to tree limbs and power lines compared to a hundred tornadoes, and half of the city of Springfield was left without electricity for 24 hours. Snow, sleet and ice covered the northwestern two thirds of Oklahoma. 75,000 homes were left without electricity as ice accumulated one to two inches in a 40- mile band from Duncan to Norman to Tulsa to Miami. 25,000 of those homes were still without power a week later. The storm claimed the lives of seven persons. (24th-27th) In 1988 Low pressure produced heavy snow from North Dakota to western sections of the Great Lakes Region, with up to fourteen inches reported in the Chicago area. Cold arctic air hovered over the Plateau Region. Temper- atures in the Big Smokey Valley of Nevada plunged to 31 degrees below zero. In 1989 Strong northerly winds behind an arctic cold front produced snow squalls in the Great Lakes Region and dangerous wind chill temperatures in the northeastern U.S. Wind chill readings as cold as 40 degrees below zero were reported in New York State. --- GTMail 1.26 * Origin: The Thunderbolt BBS - wx1der.dyndns.org - GT Power 20 (1:19/33.0) |
