 On this day...
    In 1875 New York City received three inches of snow, the latest
            measurable snow of record for that location.
    In 1880 A violent tornado 400 yds wide in Macon, Mississippi, threw
            loaded freight cars 100 yds into homes and carried debris
            15 miles away.
    In 1898 The temperature at Volcano Springs CA hit 118 degrees to
            establish a U.S. record for the month of April.
    In 1910 Chicago IL was blanketed with 2.5 inches of snow, and a
            total of 6.5 inches between the 22nd and the 26th.  It
            was the latest significant snow of record for the city.
    In 1920 Atlanta GA received 1.5 inches of snow, and experienced
            their latest freeze of record with a morning low of 32
            degrees.  The high of just 39 degrees was only their
            second daily high colder than 40 degrees in April.
    In 1984 A late season snowstorm struck the Northern Rockies and the
            Northern Plains.  The storm produced some unsually high
            snowfall totals.  The town of Lead, located in the Black
            Hills of western South Dakota, was buried under 67 inches
            of snow.  Red Lodge, located in the mountains of southern
            Montana, reported 72 inches of snow.  Up to 60 inches
            blanketed the mountains of northern Wyoming. It was rated
            the worst late season storm of record for much of the
            affected area.  (25th-28th)
    In 1987 Low pressure off the coast of North Carolina produced heavy
            rain, flooding creeks in the foothills and the Piedmont
            produced wind gusts to 50 mph in Virginia.
    In 1988 Thunderstorms racing at 65 mph produced large hail in
            Alabama and Georgia.  Hail damage in Alabama was estimated
            at fifty million dollars, making it their worst weather
            disaster since Hurricane Frederick in 1979.  Hail three
            inches in diameter accompanied a tornado near Valdosta GA.
            Hail four and a half inches in diameter was reported south
            of Atlanta GA.
    In 1989 Thunderstorms developing along a stationary front produced
            severe weather from North Carolina to Indiana and Ohio,
            with more than 70 reports of large hail and damaging winds.
            A strong (F-2) tornado hit Xenia OH injuring 16 persons,
            and causing more than a million dollars damage.
    In 1990 Thunderstorms produced severe weather from Texas to
            Nebraska. Thunderstorms spawned fifteen tornadoes, including
            a powerful (F-4) tornado near Weatherford TX.  Between 3 PM
            and 8 PM, a storm complex tracking northeastward across
            central Kansas spawned four tornadoes along a 119-mile path
            from Ness to Smith Center, with the last tornado on the
            ground for 55 miles. Del Rio TX was raked with hail 2 inches
            in diameter, and wind gusts to 112 mph.  Brown County and
            Commanche County in Texas were deluged with up to 18 inches
            of rain, and flooding caused more than 65 million dollars
            damage.  Two dozen cities in the north central U.S. reported
            record high temperatures for the date.  Highs of 87 degrees
            at Flint MI and 90 degrees at Alpena MI were records for
            April.
