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

 Today is Monday  January 30, 2006.
 This is the 30th day of the year, there are 335 days left.

 On this day...
    In 1936 Birmingham AL established a single storm record and
            24 hour record with 11 inches of snow.  (29th-30th)
    In 1977 The great "Buffalo Blizzard" finally abated after three
            days.  The storm added a foot of new snow to 33 inches
            already on the ground.  Winds gusting to 75 mph reduced
            visibilities to near zero, produced snow drifts twenty-
            five feet high, and kept wind chill readings 50 degrees
            below zero.  The blizzard paralyzed the city, and caused
            250 million dollars damage.
    In 1987 A winter storm brought more heavy snow to the Northern
            Atlantic Coast Region, with 13.6 inches reported at Hiram
            ME.  January proved to be the snowiest of record for much
            of Massachusetts.  Worcester MA reported an all-time
            monthly record of 46.8 inches of snow.
    In 1988 Strong southerly winds, gusting to 53 mph at Kansas City
            MO, spread warm air into the central U.S.  Nineteen
            cities reported record high temperatures for the date.
            Snow and strong northwesterly winds ushered cold arctic
            air into the north central states.  The temperature at
            Cutbank plunged from 54 degrees to a morning low of 7
            degrees below zero.
    In 1989 The temperature at McGrath AK dipped to 62 degrees below
            zero, and Fairbanks reported a reading of 51 degrees
            below zero, with unofficial readings in the area as cold
            as 75 degrees below zero.  The massive dome of bitterly
            cold air began to slide down western Canada toward the
            north central U.S.  Strong southwest winds ahead of the
            arctic front pushed the temperature at Great Falls MT to
            62 degrees, and gusted to 124 mph at Choteau MT,
            overturning trucks and mobile homes and a dozen empty
            railroad cars.
    In 1990 A major winter storm produced heavy snow from Indiana to
            New England.  It was the biggest storm in two and a half
            years for eastern New York State.  Snowfall totals in the
            mountains of Maine ranged up to 20 inches at Guilford and
            Lovell.  Other heavy snowfall totals included 17 inches
            at Utica NY, and 19 inches at Bethel VT, Ludlow VT, and
            New London NH.  The storm claimed three lives in eastern
            New York State, and four others in Vermont.
    In 2002 A winter storm brought snow, sleet, and freezing rain to
            portions of Texas, Oklahoma, Kansas, Missouri, and other
            states...while ahead of the storm, heavy rain and severe
            weather was the rule. Much of Oklahoma was hard hit by
            the ice storm...while it was the worst ice storm in 120
            years for Kansas City...where over 350,000 people lost
            power (30th-31st).
