 Today is Tuesday  December 13, 2005.
 This is the 347th day of the year, there are 18 days left.

 On this day...
    In 1915 A heavy snowstorm kicked off the snowiest winter
            in modern records for western New England.
            A severe Florida freeze occurred.  Morning lows
            reached 35 degrees at Miami, 18 at Tampa, and 12 at
            Jacksonville.  It was the coldest December weather of the
            20th century and caused millions of dollars damage to
            crops and foliage.  In Georgia, the morning low of
            9 degrees below zero at Blairsville established a state
            record for the month of December.
    In 1987 A major winter storm produced high winds and heavy snow
            in the Southern Rockies and the Southern High Plains.
            Snowfall totals in New Mexico ranged up to 25 inches at
            Cedar Crest, with up to three feet of snow reported in
            the higher elevations.  Winds of 75 mph, with gusts to
            124 mph, were reported northeast of Albuquerque NM.
            El Paso TX was buried under 22.4 inches of snow,
            including a single storm record of 16.8 inches in
            24 hours.  The snowfall total surpassed their previous
            record for an entire winter season of 18.4 inches.
            Record cold was experienced the next three nights as
            readings dipped into the single numbers.  High winds
            ushering unseasonably cold air into the southwestern U.S.
            gusted to 100 mph at Grapevine CA.
    In 1988 Low pressure off the Atlantic coast produced up to a foot
            of snow in eastern Nassau County and western Suffolk
            County of southeastern New York State.  Mild weather
            prevailed across the western half of the country.  Nine
            cities reported record high temperatures for the date,
            including Goodland KS with a reading of 74 degrees.
    In 1989 Strong northwesterly winds, ushering bitterly cold arctic
            air into the central U.S., produced squalls with heavy
            snow in the Great Lakes Region.  Snowfall totals in Upper
            Michigan ranged up to 24 inches at Manistique.  Nine
            cities in Arkansas and Texas reported record low
            temperatures for the date, including Calico Rock AR with
            a reading of 4 degrees above zero.
