 Today is Monday  February 27, 2006.
 This is the 58th day of the year, there are 307 days left.

 On this day...
    In 1717 What was perhaps the greatest snow in New England history
            commenced on this date.  During a ten day period a series
            of four snowstorms dumped three feet of snow upon Boston,
            and the city was snowbound for two weeks.  Up to six feet
            of snow was reported farther to the north, and drifts
            covered many one story homes.
    In 1969 A record snowstorm in Maine came to an end.  Two to four
            feet of snow buried southern and central Maine, with a
            state record of 57 inches reported at West Forks.  Drifts
            covered many single story homes, and the weight of the
            snow collapsed many roofs.  Two to four feet of snow also
            buried northeastern Vermont and northeastern
            Massachusetts.  In New Hampshire, Mount Washington NH
            reported 97.8 inches of snow, a record storm total for
            New England.  (24th-28th)
    In 1986 (24th-28th) Record warmth covered much of the western US:
            Phoenix, Arizona was at 94; Los Angeles, California was at
            94 (24th); San Francisco, California was at 81 (26th).
    In 1987 A storm spread heavy snow into the Central High Plains
            Region, and produced severe thunderstorms in the Southern
            Plains.  Snowfall totals in western Nebraska ranged up to
            19 inches at Sydney.  Severe thunderstorms in Oklahoma
            produced baseball size hail at Stringtown and Atoka.  A
            storm in the eastern U.S. produced heavy rain over the
            Carolinas, and heavy snow in the southern Appalachians
            and piedmont region.  Five inches of rain left four feet
            of water in the streets of Greenville SC.  Snowfall
            totals in southwestern Virginia ranged up to 20 inches.
    In 1988 Thunderstorms along a cold front produced heavy rain
            in southern California, with 2.52 inches reported in
            Ventura County.  Strong winds accompanying the rain
            gusted to 55 mph in the Tehachapi Mountains.  Rapid City
            SD established a February record with an afternoon high
            of 75 degrees.
    In 1989 Rain and snow prevailed in the southeastern U.S.  Up to
            eight inches of snow blanketed north central Tennessee,
            and snowfall totals in western North Carolina ranged up
            to 14 inches at Mount Mitchell.
    In 1990 A winter storm produced heavy snow in southeastern
            Colorado, with 12 inches reported at Lamar.  The same
            storm produced severe thunderstorms over the Southern
            High Plains, with wind gusts to 93 mph reported at the
            White Sands Missile Range in New Mexico.  Low pressure
            brought high winds to the Prince William Sound area of
            Alaska.  Big River Lakes reported wind gusts to 92 mph.
