This Day In Weather History

 
In 2013, a blizzard roared into Kansas. Heavy snow combined with 30 to 40 mph north winds to produce near zero visibilities in many areas. Four to eight inch accumulations were common but the strong winds produced drifts around 2 feet. In 1977, dust reduced visibilities from Eastern Virginia to Florida from the 24th to the 28th. The dust originated from the Western Great Plains on the 22nd and 23rd, where rip roaring gusts reached around an incredible 100 mph in Guadalupe Pass, Texas, White Sands, New Mexico, and Sherman County, Kansas. && In 1998, a blizzard raged for several days over the Western Dakotas. Lead, South Dakota was snowed under as they unofficially received 5.5 to 6 feet.
