    In 1896 An early season snow and ice storm struck the
            southeastern U.S.  It produced 11 inches of snow at
            Charlotte NC, and six inches at Atlanta GA.
    In 1925 A late season hurricane caused extensive damage across
            the Florida peninsula, then moved off the Georgia coast
            crossing Cape Hatteras as a tropical storm.  The storm
            produced whole gales along the Middle Atlantic and
            Southern New England coast.  Winds gusted to 60 mph at
            Block Island RI, and reached 64 mph at Atlantic City. NJ,
    In 1950 A late season tornado killed four persons in Madison and
            Bond counties east of St Louis MO.  Three tornadoes
            touched down in Illinois that afternoon, compared to just
            half a dozen tornadoes in the month of December in 115
            years of records up until that time. Thunderstorms also
            produced hail which caused more than four million dollars
            damage in the St Louis area...it was the most damaging
            hailstorm of record for Missouri.
    In 1970 A tornado, 400 yards in width, touched down about one
            mile below the summit of Timpanogos Divide.  Trees up to
            18 inches in diameter were snapped, and some of the 38
            inch snow cover was carried 1000 feet above the ground as
            the tornado traveled one mile.
    In 1982 A tornado destroyed a home four miles south of Eastwood
            MO.  The owners were not injured in that tornado, but
            ironically one was killed Christmas Eve when another
            tornado hit the replacement mobile home on the same site.
            The same day, tornadoes struck the Twin Lakes subdivision
            of western Little Rock. The sky became a dark green at
            mid-afternoon, with tornado sirens echoing through the air.
    In 1987 A powerful storm over the Gulf of Alaska continued to
            produced high winds and heavy rain along the northern and
            central Pacific coast.  Winds gusted to 80 mph south of
            Port Orford OR, Stevens Pass WA was blanketed with
            sixteen inches of snow, and Blue Canyon CA was soaked
            with 1.63 inches of rain.
    In 1988 Squalls in the Great Lakes Region produced ten inches of
            snow at Union City PA.  Gale force winds gusted to 55 mph
            at Buffalo NY.
    In 1989 Squalls produced heavy snow in the Great Lakes Region.
            Totals in Upper Michigan ranged up to 20 inches at
            Ironwood.  Heavy snow and high winds caused 150 auto
            accidents in Michigan, resulting in sixteen deaths and 22
            injuries.  Strong northwest winds gusted to 73 mph at
            Johnstown PA, and Lowville PA received 20 inches of snow
            in 36 hours.
