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

 Today is Tuesday  January 3, 2006.
 This is the 3rd day of the year, there are 362 days left.

 On this day...
    In 1777 An overnight freeze enabled George Washington and his troops
            to flank the British at Trenton, cross their lines at
            Princeton, and seek security in the hills of northern
            New Jersey.
    In 1949 A tornado hit Warren in southern Arkansas, killing 57 people.
            Several other tornadoes were noted across the state that day.
    In 1961 A three day long icestorm was in progress over northern Idaho
            which produced an accumulation of ice eight inches thick,
            a U.S. record.  Heavy fog, which blanketed much of northern
            Idaho from Grangeville to the Canadian border, deposited the
            ice on power and phone lines causing widespread power outages.
    In 1988 After a day of rest, "Old Man Winter" came back as a triple
            threat, hitting both coasts with winter storms, and blasting
            the central U.S. with cold arctic air.  Snow and ice in the
            eastern U.S. caused 4.5 million dollars damage to homes and
            vehicles in North Carolina, the storm in the western U.S.
            produced two feet of snow in the Lake Tahoe area of Nevada,
            and temperatures in North Dakota plunged to 30 degrees below
            zero, with wind chill readings as cold as 95 degrees below
            zero.
    In 1994 A heavy wet snow blanketed much of the state of Ohio, with
            12 to 18 inches reported in counties along the Ohio River.
            Newport received 21 inches.  Thunder and lightning
            accompanied the snow, with five inches reported in Washington
            County and Noble County between 7 AM and 8 AM Tuesday.  Parts
            of Washington County were without electricity for eight days
            following the storm.
    In 2001 (3rd-5th) An unusual southern winter storm brought snow to
            many areas from Texas, to Alabama, to Georgia, to the Carolinas,
            and on up into the northeast United States. Many flights were
            cancelled at Atlanta's Hartsfield Airport, with many roads shut
            down due to the wintry weather.
