    In 1951 The state of Iowa experienced a record snowstorm.
            The storm buried Iowa City under 27 inches of snow.
    In 1977 Baltimore MD received an inch of rain in eight minutes.
    In 1987 A winter storm produced heavy snow in the Sierra Nevada
            Range of California, and the Lake Tahoe area of Nevada.
            Mount Rose NV received 18 inches of new snow.
    In 1988 Unseasonably cold weather prevailed from the Plateau
            Region to the Appalachians.  Chadron NE, recently
            buried under 33 inches of snow, was the cold spot in the
            nation with a low of 19 degrees below zero.
    In 1989 Residents of the southern U.S. viewed a once in a life-
            time display of the "Northern Lights".  Unseasonably
            warm weather continued in the southwestern U.S.
            The record high of 88 degrees at Tucson AZ was their
            seventh in a row.  In southwest Texas, the temperature
            at Sanderson soared from 46 degrees at 8 AM to
            90 degrees at 11 AM.
    In 1990 Thunderstorms produced severe weather from northwest
            Texas to Wisconsin, Iowa and Nebraska during the day,
            and into the night.  Severe thunderstorms spawned
            59 tornadoes, including twenty-six strong or violent
            tornadoes, and there were about two hundred other
            reports of large hail or damaging winds.  There were
            forty-eight tornadoes in Kansas, Nebraska and Iowa,
            and some of the tornadoes in those three states were
            the strongest of record for so early in the season
            and for so far northwest in the United States.
            The most powerful tornado of the day was one which
            tore through the central Kansas community of Hesston.
            The tornado killed two persons, injured sixty others,
            and caused 22 million dollars along its 67-mile path.
            The tornado had a life span of two hours.  Another
            tornado tracked 124 miles across southeastern Nebraska
            injuring eight persons and causing more than five
            million dollars damage during its three hour life span.
