 On this day...
    In 1834 Killer frosts were reported in the Deep South. The frost was
            quite severe around Huntsville AL, and highlighted a
            backward spring in the South that year.
    In 1978 An unusually strong occluded front swept out of the Gulf of
            Alaska and produced the first April thunderstorm of record
            at Fairbanks.  Pea size hail fell northeast of Fairbanks
            from thunderstorms whose tops were less than 8000 feet.
    In 1984 Severe thunderstorms associated with an intense cyclone
            spawned a total of forty-seven tornadoes in two days from
            Louisiana to Upper Michigan.  The tornadoes killed 16
            persons, and injured 259 others.
    In 1987 Twenty-two cities in the central and western U.S. reported
            new record high temperatures for the date.  The afternoon
            high of 83 degrees at Astoria OR smashed their previous
            record by 13 degrees.  Sacramento CA hit 94 degrees.
    In 1988 While Rochester MN was blanketed with 13.7 inches of snow,
            establishing a single storm record for the month of April,
            Minneapolis MN, just 90 miles away, got only rain.
    In 1989 Thirty-three cities in the central and southeastern U.S.
            reported record high temperatures for the date.  Afternoon
            highs of 91 degrees at Evansville IN, and Nashville TN
            equalled April records.  Thunderstorms produced severe
            weather from Iowa to Kentucky, with more than 90 reports
            of large hail and damaging winds.  Thunderstorm winds
            gusted to 90 mph at Berwick IA.
    In 1990 Twenty-nine cities from the Carolinas to the Great Lakes
            Region and western New England reported record high
            temperatures for the date, as readings soared into the
            80s and lower 90s. Record high temperatures included 95
            degrees at Baltimore MD and 92 degrees at Allentown PA.
            The record high of 89 degrees at Alpena MI was the third
            out of six straight record highs for that location, and
            smashed their previous record for the date by ten degrees.
    In 1991 An outbreak of 55 tornadoes devastated parts of Oklahoma,
            Kansas, and Nebraska, killing 21 people. The Golden Spur
            Trailer Park in Andover, KS was hard hit by an F5 tornado.
