    In 1869 A post Christmas storm in New York and Vermont produced
            record storm totals of 30 inches at Burlington VT, and 39
            inches at Montpelier VT.  A public emergency is declared
            in Vermont.
    In 1892 An Atlantic coast storm produced a record 18.6 inches of
            snow at Norfolk VA, including 17.7 inches in 24 hours.
            The storm also produced 9.5 inches of snow at Raleigh NC,
            and brought snow to northern Florida for the first time
            in 35 years.  (26th-28th)
    In 1978 The South Pole (Antarctica) celebrated its new highest
            temperature, 7.5 degrees.
    In 1982 The worst Louisiana rainstorm in more than 100 years came
            to an end.  More than 18 inches fell at Vinton LA during
            the three day storm.  Flooding was widespread, and
            property damage was estimated at 100 to 200 million
            dollars.  President Reagan visited the state and declared
            ten parishes in northeastern Lousiana disaster areas.
    In 1987 A winter storm produced snow and high winds in Wyoming,
            Colorado and Nebraska.  Denver CO experienced its worst
            snowstorm since December 1983 as high winds gusting to 46
            mph created near blizzard conditions, whipping the
            fifteen inch snow into drifts five feet high, and closing
            Stapleton Airport.  Snowfall totals in the foothills
            southwest of Denver ranged up to 42 inches
            at Intercanyon.  Blizzard conditions raged across
            southeastern Wyoming through the day, stranding
            300 holiday travelers in the tiny town of Chugwater.
            Heavier snowfall totals included 19 inches at La Grange
            WY, and 22 inches at Elsmere NE.
    In 1988 Severe thunderstorms developing along a cold front in the
            south central U.S. spawned a dozen tornadoes in
            Mississippi between early afternoon and sunrise the
            following day.  A tornado at Harperville destroyed five
            chicken homes killing thousands of chickens.  Strong
            thunderstorm winds gusted to 80 mph at Rolling Fork MS.
    In 1989 Half a dozen cities in the northeastern U.S. reported
            record low temperatures for the date, including Elkins WV
            with a reading of 13 degrees below zero.  Watertown NY
            was the cold spot in the nation with a morning low of 37
            degrees below zero.
