 Today is Sunday  October 10, 2004.
 This is the 284th day of the year, there are 82 days left.

 On this day...
    In 1804 A famous snow hurricane occurred.  The unusual coastal
            storm caused northerly gales from Maine to New Jersey.
            Heavy snow fell across New England, with three feet at
            the crest of the Green Mountains, and a foot of snow in
            the Berkshires, at Goshen CT.
    In 1920 The temperature at Minneapolis MN reached 90 degrees,
            their latest such reading of record.
    In 1973 Fifteen to 20 inch rains deluged north central Oklahoma
            in thirteen hours producing record flooding.  Enid was
            drenched with 15.68 inches of rain from the nearly
            stationary thunderstorms, which established a state
            24 hour rainfall record.  Dover OK reported 125 of 150
            homes damaged by flooding.
    In 1979 A storm blanketed Worcester MA with 7.5 inches of snow,
            a record snowfall total for so early in the season for
            that location.
    In 1983 Lightning struck a CB antenna on a moving car in Iowa and
            formed a fireball in the front seat as the radio burned.
    In 1987 Eleven cities in the north central U.S. reported record
            low temperatures for the date, including Colorado Springs
            CO with a reading of 23 degrees, and Havre MT with a low
            of 11 above zero.  Light snow was reported as far south
            as Kansas.  Omaha NE reported their third earliest snow
            of record.
    In 1988 Sunny and mild weather prevailed across the nation for
            Columbus Day.  The afternoon high of 77 degrees at
            Kalispell MT was the warmest reading of record for so
            late in the autumn season.  Thunderstorms developing
            along a cold front produced wind gusts to 56 mph at
            Lorain OH.  Snowflakes were observed at Milwuakee WI
            around Noon, but quickly changed to rain as temperature
            readings were in the lower 60s.
    In 1989 Thunderstorms produced torrential rains along the
            northeast coast of Florida.  Augustine was deluged with
            16.08 inches of rain.  The heavy rain caused extensive
            flooding of homes and businesses, and left some roads
            under three feet of water. Ten cities from the Carolinas
            to New England reported record low temperatures for the
            date, including Concord NH with a reading of 23 degrees.
            Temperatures dipped into the 30s in the Carolinas.
    In 2001 A slow moving cold front, an area of low pressure, and
            abundant moisture brought excessive rain to Arkansas. Two
            day storm totals ranged from 3-5 inches in central Arkansas
            to over 7 inches in parts of southwest Arkansas. (10th-11th)
