This Day In Weather History

 
In 1988, while one to four inches of snow blanketed most of Eastern Kansas and Northern Oklahoma, eight towns in North Dakota recorded new record high temperatures for the date. The high of 61 in Bismarck was not among the record setting highs that day, but was 22 degrees warmer than the high of 39 recorded in Chanute. && In 1962, an incredible storm raged along the Atlantic Coast, causing around $200 million damage from Florida to New England. Winds along the Mid Atlantic Coast reached 70 mph, causing 40 foot waves. Nearly three feet of snow buried the Virginia mountains. The Virginia shoreline was rearranged by historic tidal flooding caused by the persistent damaging winds and spring tides.
