    Weather data after 1990 is PARTIAL. For more current

    website at www.ncdc.noaa.gov
    In 1886 A big snowstorm in the southeastern U.S. produced
            11 inches at Montgomery AL, 18.5 inches at Rome GA,
            and 22.5 inches at Knoxville TN.
    In 1941 The temperature at Enosburg Falls VT soared to 72 degrees
            to establish a state record for the month of December.
    In 1953 A killer tornado hit Vicksburg MS killing 38 persons,
            injuring 270 others, and causing 25 million dollars
            damage, the most damage since the forty-seven days of
            continuous shelling the town received in the Civil War.
    In 1968 (5th-6th) High surf from a storm near Alaska swept rocks
            and sea water into pavilions at Onekahakaha Beach near
            Hilo, Hawaii.
    In 1987 Heavy snow blanketed parts of the north central U.S., and
            freezing drizzle produced a coat of ice up to half an
            inch thick in northwestern Minnesota and eastern North
            Dakota.  Snowfall totals ranged up to seven inches at
            Grand Rapids MN, and 12 inches at Seney MI.  High winds
            in the north central U.S. gusted to 63 mph at Pellston
            MI, and reached 70 mph at Makinaw Bridge MI.
    In 1988 There was only a "flurry" of activity, as for much of the
            nation winter remained on hold.  The cold and snow of
            winter was primarily confined to the northeastern U.S.
            Five cities in the north central U.S. reported record
            high temperatures for the date, including Norfolk NE with
            a reading of 65 degrees.
    In 1989 A warm Pacific storm system brought high winds and heavy
            rain to western Washington and western Oregon.  Up to ten
            inches of rain deluged the western slopes of the Cascade
            Mountain Range in Washington State over a three day
            period, and 500 persons had to be evacuated due to
            flooding along the Skagit River.  Up to five inches of
            rain drenched northwest Oregon, and winds gusted to 71
            mph at Netarts.
