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

 Today is Thursday  February 9, 2006.
 This is the 40th day of the year, there are 325 days left.

 On this day...
    In 1933 The temperature at Moran WY, located next to Teton
            National Park, plunged to 63 degrees below zero to
            establish a state record.  The temperature at the
            Riverside Ranger Station in Montana dipped to 66 below
            zero to establish a record for the state, and a record
            for the nation which stood until 1954.
    In 1934 The mercury dipped to 51 degrees below zero at Vanderbilt
            to establish a record for the state of Michigan.  The
            temperature at Stillwater plunged to 52 degrees below
            zero to establish a record for the state of New York.
    In 1987 A storm off the Atlantic coast produced high winds
            and heavy snow in the northeastern U.S., with blizzard
            conditions in eastern Massachusetts.  Wind gusted to
            80 mph and 23.4 inches of snow produced drifts eight feet
            high at Cape Cod MA.  It was the worst blizzard in thirty
            years for the Cape Cod area.  Winds in some of the
            mountains and ridges of the Appalachian Region gusted to
            100 mph.
    In 1988 Arctic cold invaded the north central U.S.  Alliance NE
            plunged from 44 degrees to 12 above in just two hours,
            and Mobridge SD reported a wind chill of 64 degrees below
            zero.  Winds along the eastern slopes of the Rockies
            gusted to 90 mph at Cheyenne WY, and reached 96 mph at
            Boulder CO. 
    In 1989 A winter storm continued to bring rain and snow to
            southern California.  Snowfall totals ranged up to
            18 inches at Olancha, with three inches at Palmdale.
    In 1990 Thunderstorms developing ahead of a cold front erupted
            over eastern Texas late in the morning, and produced
            severe weather as they swept across the southeastern
            states.  Early evening thunderstorms spawned a tornado
            which injured one person at Nat TX, and produced tennis
            ball size hail which cuased more than half a million
            dollars damage around Shreveport LA.
    In 1994 (9th-11th) A statewide ice storm struck Arkansas, with
            the most damage in south and east Arkansas. Some areas
            were without electricity for 2 weeks.
    In 2001 Over the next week, huge amounts of rainfall would fall
            across Arkansas...with many areas receiving over 6 inches
            of rain...along with severe flooding. (9th-17th).
    In 2002 Very strong winds affected much of the central and
            western United States. Areas from California to Colorado
            to the Dakotas to Nebraska to Wisconsin were affected.
            Gusts from over 50 mph to near 100 mph were reported.
    In 2003 While portions of Austrailia were still reeling from
            wildfires, the remnants of Tropical Storm Beni hit near
            Rockhampton, dropping 12 inches of rain overnight.
