 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.
