This Day In Weather History

In 1982, Bismarck, North Dakota experienced its 45th consecutive day of sub zero low temperatures which tied a record that ended on the same date in 1937.

In 1998, incredibly severe thunderstorms tore through Northern Louisiana with destructive winds that ranged from 70 to 115 MPH. The 115 mph winds hit Northwest Louisiana, where no doubt numerous homes sustained major roof damage and where one roof was blown off a high school. Fortunately there were no injuries. Numerous trees were uprooted and power lines and poles were blown down. A few of the widespread power outages lasted 2 days. The severe thunderstorms caused around $20 million damage.

In 1973, a winter storm buried South Carolina with as much as 2 feet of snow and Georgia with up to one and a half feet.

In 1987, a bizarre winter storm produced around 15 inches of snow in Southeastern Maine early in the morning. The rest of Maine didn't see a single flake.
