 TODAY  Version 3.7   06/24/94       Copyright 1986, 1994  By Patrick Kincaid

 Today is Thursday  November 11, 2004.
 This is the 316th day of the year, there are 50 days left.

 On this day...
    In 1911 The central U.S. experienced perhaps its most dramatic
            cold wave of record.  During the early morning hours
            temperatures across the Central Plains ranged from
            68 degrees at Kansas City to 4 above North Platte NE. In
            Kansas City, the temperature warmed to a record
            76 degrees by late morning before the arctic front moved
            in from the northwest.  Skies become overcast, winds
            shifted to the northwest, and the mercury began to plummet.
            By early afternoon it was cold enough to snow, and by
            midnight the temperature had dipped to a record cold
            reading of 11 degrees above zero.  Oklahoma City also
            established a record high of 83 degrees and record low of
            17 degrees that same day (11/11/11).  In southeastern
            Kansas, the temperature at Independence plunged from 83
            degrees to 33 degrees in just one hour.  The arctic cold
            front produced severe thunderstorms and tornadoes in the
            Mississippi Valley, a blizzard in the Ohio Valley, and a
            dust storm in Oklahoma.
    In 1940 An Armistice Day storm raged across the Great Lakes
            Region and the Upper Midwest.  A blizzard left 49 dead in
            Minnesota, and gales on Lake Michigan caused ship wrecks
            resulting in another 59 deaths.  Up to 17 inches of snow
            fell in Iowa, and at Duluth MN the barometric pressure
            reached 28.66 inches.  The blizzard claimed a total of
            154 lives, and in Iowa, killed thousands of cattle.
            Whole towns were isolated by huge snowdrifts.
    In 1955 An early arctic outbreak set many November temperature
            records across Oregon and Washington.  The severe cold
            damaged shrubs and fruit trees.  Readings plunged to near
            zero in western Washington, and dipped to 19 degrees
            below zero in the eastern part of the state.
    In 1987 A deepening low pressure system brought heavy snow to the
            east central U.S.  The Veteran's Day storm produced up to
            17 inches of snow in the Washington D.C. area snarling
            traffic and closing schools and airports.  Afternoon
            thunderstorms produced five inches of snow in three
            hours.  Gale force winds lashed the Middle and Northern
            Atlantic Coast.  Norfolk VA reported their earliest
            measurable snow in 99 years of records.
    In 1988 Low pressure brought snow to parts of the Rocky Mountain
            Region.  Totals in the San Juan Mountains of southwestern
            Colorado ranged up to 10 inches at Summitville.  Evening
            thunderstorms produced large hail in central Oklahoma and
            north central Texas.
    In 1989 Veteran's Day was an unseasonably warm one across much of
            the nation east of the Rockies.  Temperatures warmed into
            the 70s and 80s from the Southern and Central Plains to
            the southern half of the Atlantic coast.  Thirty-four
            cities reported record high temperatures for the date,
            including Saint Louis MO with a reading of 85 degrees.
            Calico Rock AR and Gilbert AR reported record highs of 87
            degrees.
