    Weather data after 1990 is PARTIAL. For more current

    In 1937 The wettest Inaugural Day of record with 1.77 inches of rain
            in 24 hours.  Temperatures were only in the 30s as Franklin
            D. Roosevelt was sworn in for his second term.
    In 1943 Strange vertical antics took place in the Black Hills of
            South Dakota.  While the temperature at Deadwood was a
            frigid 16 degrees below zero, the town of Lead, just a
            mile and a half away, but 600 feet higher in elevation,
            reported a balmy 52 degree reading.
    In 1954 The temperature at Rogers Pass MT plunged to 70 degrees
            below zero to establish a new record for the continental U.S.
    In 1978 A paralyzing "Nor'easter" produced a record 21 inches of snow
            at Boston, 15 to 20 inches in Rhode Island, and one to two
            feet of snow in Pennsylvania.  Winds along the coast of
            Connecticut gusted to 70 mph.
    In 1982 (20th-21st) 17.3 inches snow on Minneapolis, Minnesota set
            its single storm record, broken by the 19.9 inches which
            fell on the 22nd-23rd!
    In 1987 Gale force winds lingered along the northern Atlantic coast
            in the wake of a holiday weekend storm.  High winds along
            the eastern slopes of the Northern Rockies gusted to 67 mph
            at Livingston MT, and high winds in southern California
            gusted to 70 mph near San Bernardino.
    In 1988 A storm in the Upper Midwest produced heavy snow and gale
            force winds.  Up to 27.5 inches of snow was reported along
            the Lake Superior shoreline of Michigan, with 22 inches at
            Marquette.
    In 1989 The temperature in the Washington D.C. area warmed into the
            lower 50s for the Presidential Inauguration during the late
            morning hours, before gusty northwest winds ushered in colder
            air that afternoon.
    In 1990 While heavy thunderstorm rains drenched the Central Gulf
            Coast States, with 4.23 inches reported at Centreville AL
            in 24 hours, unseasonably warm weather continued across
            Florida.  Five cities in Florida reported record high
            temperatures for the date.  Tampa FL equalled their record
            high for January of 85 degrees.
