 On this day...
    In 1870 The term "blizzard" was used for the first time to describe
            a storm with heavy snow and high winds, that struck Iowa
            and Minnesota.
    In 1944 A single storm brought a record 21.6 inches of snow to
            Salt Lake City UT.
    In 1960 Northern Georgia was between snowstorms.  Gainesville
            GA received 17 inches of snow during the month, and
            reported at least a trace of snow on the ground 22 days
            in March.  Snow was on roofs in Hartwell GA from the
            2nd to the 29th.
    In 1987 A powerful storm in the western U.S. produced 15 inches
            of snow in the Lake Tahoe Basin of Nevada, and wind
            gusts to 50 mph at Las Vegas NV.  Thunderstorms in the
            Sacramento Valley of California spawned a tornado which
            hit a turkey farm near Corning.
    In 1988 Squalls in the Great Lakes Region continued to produce
            heavy snow in northwest Wisconsin and Upper Michigan,
            and produced up to 14 inches of snow in northeast Ohio.
            Poplar WI reported 27 inches of snow in two days.
    In 1989 High winds in Colorado and Wyoming gusted above 120 mph
            at Horsetooth Heights CO.  High winds in the Central
            Plains sharply reduced visibilities in blowing dust as
            far east as Kansas City MO.  Winds gusting to 72 mph at
            Hill City KS reduced the visibility to a city block in
            blowing dust.  Soil erosion in northwest Kansas damaged
            nearly five million acres of wheat.
    In 1990 Fifty-three cities reported record high temperatures
            for the date as readings warmed into the 70s and 80s
            from the Gulf coast to the Great Lakes Region.
            Charleston WV was the hot spot in the nation with
            a record high of 89 degrees.  It was the fourth of five
            consecutive days with record warm tempeatures for many
            cities in the eastern U.S.  There were 283 daily record
            highs reported in the central and eastern U.S. between
            the 11th and the 15th of March.
    In 2002 Dense fog caused a 125 vehicle pile-up on Interstate 75
            near Catoosa, Georgia.
