    In 1978 A paralyzing blizzard struck the Midwest.  One to three
            feet of snow fell in Michigan, and 20 to 40 inches was
            reported across Indiana.  Winds reached 70 mph in
            Michigan, and gusted above 100 mph in Ohio.  The high
            winds produced snow drifts twenty feet high in Michigan
            and Indiana stranding thousands on the interstates.
            Temperatures in Ohio dropped from the 40s to near zero
            during the storm, where 10 inches of snow became 25 foot
            drifts.
    In 1983 The California coast was battered by a storm which
            produced record high tides, thirty-two foot waves,
            and mudslides, causing millions of dollars damage.
            The storm then moved east and dumped four feet of snow on
            Lake Tahoe.  (22nd-29th)
    In 1987 A winter storm spread heavy snow across the Middle and
            Northern Atlantic Coast States, with 18 inches reported
            at Vineland NJ, and wind gusts to 65 mph at Chatham MA.
            Snow cover in Virginia ranged up to thirty inches
            following this second major storm in just one week.
    In 1988 A snowstorm in the northeastern U.S. produced 19 inches
            at Austerlitz NY and Stillwater NY.  A storm in the Great
            Lakes Region left 16.5 inches at Marquette MI, for a
            total of 43 inches in six days.
    In 1989 Snow and high winds created blizzard-like conditions in
            northwestern Vermont.  Winds at Saint Albins gusted to
            88 mph.  In Alaska, the town of Cold Foot (located north
            of Fairbanks) reported a morning low of 75 degrees below
            zero.
    In 1990 A winter storm spread high winds from the northwestern
            U.S. to Wyoming and Colorado, with heavy snow in some of
            the high elevations.  Stevens Pass WA received 17 inches
            of snow, half of which fell in four hours.  In extreme
            northwest Wyoming, Togwotee Mountain Lodge received 24
            inches of snow.  Winds in Colorado gusted to 90 mph at
            Rollinsville.
    In 2015 (26th-27th) A major winter storm, with blizzard conditions
            in some areas, affected much of the northeast United States
            and New England. While New York got around 8 inches, and
            Philadelphia got around 5 inches...areas from Long Island,
            New York to Coastal Maine (including the Boston area), got
            over 2 feet of snow. Just southeast toward Cape Cod, sea
            water flowed inland during high tide on the 27th. Homes in
            Scituate and Marshfield, Massachusetts areas were flooded.
            Wind gusts from 30 to 70 mph causing huge drifts of snow.
