    In 1641 An observer at Boston MA recorded a "great tempest of
            wind and rain from the southeast all night, as fierce as
            a hurricane, and thereupon followed the highest tide
            which we have seen since our arrival here".
    In 1957 Extremely destructive Santa Ana winds blew from Oxnard to
            San Diego and inland parts of southern California.  The
            high winds produced a 28,000 acre brush fire on a 40-mile
            front west of Crystal Lake.  People were ordered off
            streets in some areas due to flying debris.  (21st-22nd)
    In 1987 Eight cities in the eastern U.S. reported record low
            temperatures for the date.  Elkins WV, reported a low of
            5 degrees above zero.  Gale force winds continued along
            the Northern Atlantic Coast.
    In 1988 Wet and windy weather prevailed across the western U.S.,
            with heavy snow in some of the higher elevations.  Winds
            gusted to 62 mph at Vedauwoo WY, and reached 75 mph at
            Tillamook OR.  Shelter Cove CA was drenched with 4.37
            inches of rain in 24 hours.
    In 1989 Strong northerly winds produced squalls along the shore
            of Lake Michigan, with heavy snow in extreme southeast
            Wisconsin.  Milwaukee WI received nine inches of snow,
            and in Racine County there were more than one hundred
            automobile accidents.
