 Today is Wednesday  February 22, 2006.
 This is the 53rd day of the year, there are 312 days left.

 On this day...
    In 1773 The memorable "Cold Sabbath" in New England history.
            Many persons froze extremities while going to church.
    In 1936 Although heat and dust prevailed in the spring and
            summer, early 1936 brought record cold to parts of the
            U.S.  Sioux Center IA reported 42 inches of snow on the
            ground, a state record.  (20th-22nd)
    In 1986 A twelve day siege of heavy rain and snow, which produced
            widespread flooding and mudslides in northern and central
            California, finally came to an end.  The storm caused
            more than 400 million dollars property damage.  Bucks
            Lake, located in the Sierra Nevada Range, received 49.6
            inches of rain during the twelve day period.
    In 1987 A storm moving northeastward out of the Gulf of Mexico
            began to spread heavy snow across the Middle Atlantic
            Coast Region.  Thunderstorms in northern Florida produced
            wind gusts to 65 mph in Alachua County. 
    In 1988 Dry weather prevailed across the nation, with windy
            conditions from the Central Rockies to northern New
            England.  Winds gusted to 58 mph at Cleveland OH,
            and reached 63 mph at Erie PA.  Winds in the Central
            Rockies gusted to 120 mph at Mines Peak CO and Rendezvous
            Peak WY.
    In 1989 Strong northwesterly winds ushering cold arctic air into
            the north central U.S. produced snow squalls in the Great
            Lakes Region, with heavy snow near Lake Michigan.  Totals
            in northwest Indiana ranged up to 24 inches at Gary, and
            up to 16 inches buried northeastern Illinois.
    In 1990 Thunderstorms developing along and ahead of a cold front
            produced severe weather from southern Mississippi to
            North Carolina.  One thunderstorm spawned a tornado just
            prior to dawn which touched down near Opp AL injuring ten
            persons and causing half a million dollars damage.
            Thunderstorm winds injured four persons south of Troy AL,
            and five people at Columbus GA.  Thunderstorm winds
            gusted to 76 mph at Dothan AL.
