 Today is Friday  February 10, 2006.
 This is the 41st day of the year, there are 324 days left.

 On this day...
    In 1899 The temperature at Monterey VA plunged to 29 degrees
            below zero, a record for the state.
    In 1973 A major snowstorm struck the southeastern U.S.
            It produced as much as 18 inches in Georgia, and up to
            two feet of snow in South Carolina.
    In 1978 As much as eight inches of rain drenched southern
            California resulting in widespread flooding and
            mudslides.  The heavy rainfall produced a wall of water
            which ripped through the mountain resort community of
            Hidden Springs drowning at least thirteen persons.  The
            storm was one of the most destructive of record causing
            fifty million dollars damage. 
    In 1982 Bismarck ND experienced its 45th consecutive day of
            subzero temperature readings which tied the previous
            record long string of subzero daily lows ending on the
            same date in 1937.
    In 1983 (10th-12th) Heavy snow from northeast Georgia to eastern
            Maine paralyzed much of the East.
    In 1987 A storm in the northeastern U.S. produced heavy snow in
            southeastern Maine.  Grand Falls and Woodland received 15
            inches, mainly during the early morning hours, while most
            of the rest of the state did not even see a flake of
            snow.
    In 1988 Bitter cold arctic air gripped the north central U.S.
            International Falls MN was the cold spot in the nation
            with a low of 35 degrees below zero.  Record warm
            readings were reported in southern California, with highs
            of 78 at San Francisco and 88 at Los Angeles.  San Juan
            Capistrano CA was the hot spot in the nation with a high
            of 92 degrees.
    In 1989 For the first time all month winter relaxed its grip
            on the nation.  The temperature at Brownsville TX warmed
            above 60 degrees for the first time in six days, ending
            their second longest such cold spell of record.
    In 1990 Thunderstorms developing ahead of a cold front continued
            to produce severe weather across the southeastern U.S.
            through the morning hours and into the late afternoon.
            There were a total of twenty-nine tornadoes in twenty-
            nine hours, and 245 reports of large hail or damaging
            winds.  Pre-dawn thunderstorms produced high winds which
            injured at least seventy persons in Alabama and Georgia,
            and caused more than twelve million dollars damage.  A
            tornado at Austell GA prior to daybreak injured two
            persons and caused two million dollars damage.
