 On this day...
    In 1830 A very heavy snowstorm ushered in the "winter of the deep
            snow".  The storm produced 30 inches of snow at Peoria IL
            and 36 inches at Kansas City MO.  Cold and snow continued
            until the middle of February causing great suffering
            among pioneers.
    In 1894 A severe freeze hit Florida destroying fruit and causing
            considerable damage to trees.
    In 1954 Fort Scott KS was buried under 26 inches of snow in
            24 hours to establish a state record.  (28th-29th)
    In 1984 One hundred cities in the eastern U.S. reported record
            high temperatures.  Kansas City MO experienced its
            warmest December day of record with a morning low of
            60 degrees and afternoon high of 71 degrees.
    In 1987 A storm off the Middle Atlantic Coast produced heavy snow
            in the Appalachians and the northeastern U.S.  Snow and
            high winds created blizzard conditions in southeastern
            Massachusetts.  Cape Cod received thirteen inches of
            snow, and snow drifts three feet deep were reported
            around Chatham MA.  Strong winds produced wind chill
            readings as cold as 60 degrees below zero in southwest
            New England.  In the western U.S., a Pacific coast storm
            produced heavy snow in the Sierra Nevada Range of
            California, with 24 inches reported at Mammoth Mountain.
    In 1988 A cold front brought rain and snow to the northwestern
            U.S.  The rainfall total of 2.70 inches at Astoria OR was
            a record for the date.  High winds along the eastern
            slopes of the Northern Rockies gusted to 81 mph at
            Livingston MT.
    In 1989 Snow and ice prevailed from the southwestern U.S. to the
            Great lakes Region.  Flagstaff AZ received nine inches of
            snow in just six hours.  Bitter cold weather continued
            over Maine.  Portland ME reported a record twenty-two
            straight days with highs 32 degrees or colder.
