    In 1764 A "very remarkable storm of snow with high winds"
            produced 22 inches at Rutland in central Massachusetts.
    In 1929 A snowstorm dumped 27 inches upon Ishpeming MI in
            24 hours to establish a state record.
    In 1962 An early season winter storm over New England blanketed
            northern Maine with 7 to 16 inches of snow, and
            southeastern New England with up to 3 inches of snow.
            Worcester MA received a record 4.7 inches of snow.
    In 1972 A sleeping couple in FL were awakened by rain after a
            tornado removed the roof. They escaped as the house blew
            away.
    In 1987 Showers and thunderstorms produced locally heavy rain
            from Virginia to New York State.  Fallen leaves made
            roads and sidewalks slick, and also clogged sewers.
            Rainfall totals of 1.55 inches at Newark NJ, 1.54 inches
            at Harrisburg PA, 1.27 inches at Scranton PA, and 1.22
            inches at Atlantic City NJ, were records for the date.
    In 1988 Low pressure brought snow and gale force winds to the
            Great Lakes Region, and snow and high winds to the north
            central U.S.  Winds gusted to 47 mph at Lansin MI, and
            reached 55 mph at Pierre SD.
    In 1989 Wintry weather invaded the northwestern U.S.  A storm
            crossing the Central Rockies produced up to 23 inches of
            snow in the mountains east of Salt Lake City UT.  "Indian
            Summer" continued in the Lower Ohio Valley and the Upper
            Great Lakes Region.  Afternoon highs of 71 at Marquette
            MI and 72 at Sault Ste Marie MI were records for the date.
    In 2005 Tropical Storm Beta, the 23rd named storm of the 2005
            Atlantic Hurricane Season, formed in the southwestern
            Caribbean Sea.
