 Today is Monday  March 6, 2006.
 This is the 65th day of the year, there are 300 days left.

 On this day...
    In 1872 A cold wave hit the East coast sending the mercury to 8
            degrees below zero at Boston.  It was the most severe
            March cold wave in modern history.
    In 1900 A chinook wind blowing down the slopes of the Rockies
            through Havre MT raised the temperature 31 degrees in
            just three minutes.
    In 1954 Florida received its greatest modern-day snowfall of
            record, with 4.0 inches at the Milton Experimental
            Station.  Pensacola equalled their 24-hour record with
            2.1 inches of snow.
    In 1987 Twenty-eight cities in the north central U.S. reported
            record high temperatures for the date.  Pickstown SD
            was the hot spot in the nation with a reading of
            83 degrees.  The high of 71 at Saint Cloud MN smashed
            their previous record by 21 degrees.
    In 1988 Wintry weather developed in the Rockies and the Plateau
            Region as arctic air swept in from the northwest.
            Blizzard conditions in southeastern Idaho claimed the
            lives of two teenagers.  Thunderstorms developed in
            Utah and Idaho.
    In 1989 A winter storm in the south central U.S. left parts of
            Missouri and Arkansas buried under more than a foot of
            snow.  Totals in Missouri ranged up to 16 inches at
            Lebanon, with 14 inches at Springfield.  Totals in
            Benton County AR ranged up to 14 inches.
    In 1990 Colorado's strongest winter storm of the season moved
            northeastward across the state producing 50 inches of
            snow at Echo Lake, 46.5 inches on Buckhorn Mountain,
            and 46 inches near the top of Coal Canyon.  Snow fell
            at the rate of several inches per hour during the
            height of the storm, while winds gusted above 50 mph.
            Several hundred rush hour commuters, including the
            state governor, were stranded in blizzard conditions
            along Highway 36 between Denver and Boulder.  Drifts up
            to twelve feet high had to be cleared southeast of
            Boulder.
