This Day In Weather History

 
In 1999, an early season winter storm produced a 30 mile wide swath of 6 to 10 inches of snow across South Central Kansas. The swath extended from around Kingman, east northeast across the Wichita metropolitan area, to around Hillsboro. The greatest accumulations occurred across northern Sedgwick, Harvey and McPherson counties. The snow was convective, with thunder and lightning reported over most of these areas. The heavy wet snow also damaged many trees and power lines. && In 2009, Houston, Texas received their earliest snowfall when 1 inch was measured at Bush Intercontinental Airport. As of this same date, Syracuse, New York had yet to receive any snowfall.
