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

 Today is Saturday  January 15, 2005.
 This is the 15th day of the year, there are 350 days left.

 On this day...
    In 1852 Between January 15th and February 24th a total of 1378
            railroad cars were drawn by horses across the frozen
            Susquehanna River to engines waiting at Havre De Grace MD.
    In 1932 Up to two inches of snow whitened the Los Angeles basin of
            California.  The Los Angeles Civic Center reported an inch
            of snow, and even the beaches of Santa Monica were whitened
            with snow, in what proved to be a record snowstorm for Los
            Angeles.
    In 1952 A six day snowstorm was in progress in the western U.S.
            The storm produced 44 inches of snow at Marlette Lake NV,
            52 inches at Sun Valley ID, and 149 inches at Tahoe CA,
            establishing single storm records for each of those three
            states.  In addition, 24 hour snowfall totals of 22 inches
            at the University of Nevada, and 26 inches at Arco ID,
            established records for those two states. The streamliner,
            'City of San Francisco' was snowbound in the Sierra Nevada
            Range, near Donner Summit.
    In 1987 A powerful storm over the Southern Plateau and the Southern
            Rockies produced 24 inches of snow at Colorado Springs CO,
            including 22 inches in 24 hours, a January record.  High
            winds in the southwestern U.S. gusted to 65 mph in the
            Yosemite Valley of California.
    In 1988 A small storm over the Atlantic Ocean produced heavy snow
            along the coast of North Carolina.  The five inch total at
            Wilmington NC was their third highest for any storm in
            January in 117 years of records.
    In 1989 A storm in the northwestern U.S. produced up to 14 inches
            of snow in the Cascade Mountain Range.  Light snow in the
            north central U.S. was just enough to push the snowfall
            total for January at Fargo ND past their previous all-time
            monthly record of 30.7 inches.
    In 1990 While one Pacific storm crossed the Central Rockies, another
            approached the west coast.  The northern mountains of Utah
            were buried under 17 to 35 inches of snow while the mountains
            of southern Utah received another 12 to 16 inches.  Eighteen
            cities in the central U.S. reported record high temperatures
            for the date as readings warmed into the 50s and 60s.
            Wichita KS reported a record high of 68 degrees.
