 On this day...
    In 1956 A whopping 367 inches of snow was measured on
            the ground at the Ranier Paradise Ranger Station in
            Washington.  The snow depth was a state record and the
            second highest total of record for the U.S.
    In 1960 A winter storm produced a narrow band of heavy snow
            from north central Kentucky into Virginia and the
            mountains of North Carolina.  Snowfall amounts ranged
            from 12 to 24 inches, with drifts up to eleven feet
            high in western Virginia.
    In 1987 Gale force winds ushered arctic air into the north
            central U.S.   Some places were 50 degrees colder than
            the previous day.  Northeast winds, gusting to 60 mph,
            produced 8 to 15 foot waves on Lake Michigan causing
            more than a million dollars damage along the
            southeastern shoreline of Wisconsin.
    In 1988 A cold front brought high winds to the southwestern
            U.S.  Winds in the Las Vegas Valley of Nevada gusted
            to 70 mph, and one person was injured by a falling
            tree.
    In 1989 Twenty-two cities in the southwestern U.S. reported new
            record high temperatures for the date.  In New Mexico,
            afternoon highs of 72 at Los Alamos, 76 at Ruidoso, and
            79 at Quemado, were records for March.
    In 1990 Evening thunderstorms produced severe weather in
            West Texas.  Thunderstorms produced wind gusts to
            71 mph at Lubbock, and golf ball size hail was reported
            at several other locations.  Strong thunderstorm winds
            injured two persons north of the town of Canyon.
