 On this day...
    In 1899 Texas and the eastern plains experienced their coldest
            morning of modern record.  The mercury dipped to
            8 degrees below zero at Fort Worth TX, and to 22 below
            zero at Kansas City MO.  The temperature at Camp Clarke
            NE plunged to 47 degrees below zero to establish a record
            for the state.  In the eastern U.S., Washington D.C. hit
            15 degrees below zero, and Charleston SC received a
            record four inches of snow.
    In 1958 Snow blanketed northern Florida, with Tallahassee
            reporting a record 2.8 inches.  A ship in the Gulf of
            Mexico, 25 miles south of Fort Morgan AL, reported zero
            visibility in heavy snow on the afternoon of the 12th.
            (12th-13th)
    In 1960 A snowstorm in the Deep South produced more than a foot
            of snow in Louisiana, Mississippi and Alabama.
    In 1987 A storm in the eastern U.S. produced high winds from
            North Carolina to Maine.  A storm in the western U.S.
            produced up to thirty inches of snow in the Sierra Nevada
            Range of California.
    In 1988 A classic "nor'easter" formed off the Carolina coast and
            intensified as it moved up the Atlantic coast bringing
            heavy snow to the northeastern U.S.  Totals ranged up to
            26 inches at Camden NY and Chester MA.  Arctic cold
            gripped the north central U.S.  Duluth MN was the cold
            spot in the nation with a low of 32 degrees below zero.
    In 1989 Unseasonably mild weather prevailed across Alaska.
            Morning lows of 29 at Anchorage and 31 at Fairbanks were
            actually warmer than those in northern Florida.
    In 1990 Strong southerly winds ahead of an arctic cold front
            pushed temperatures into the 70s as far north as Iowa and
            Nebraska.  Twenty-one cities in the central U.S., seven
            in Iowa, reported record high temperatures for the date.
            Lincoln NE reported a record high of 73 degrees, and the
            afternoon high of 59 degrees at Minneapolis MN smashed
            their previous record for the date by twelve degrees.
            Springfield IL reported a record forty-eight consecutive
            days with above normal temperatures.
