This Day In Weather History

 
In 1987, a powerful storm spread heavy snow across the Northern Plains while severe thunderstorms struck parts parts of the Southern Plains. Snowfalls reached around one and half feet in Sydney, Nebraska, while baseball-sized hail 'batter'ed Stringtown and Atoka, Oklahoma. && In 1969, a record-setting snowstorm that struck in Maine finally ended but not until 2 to 4 feet overwhelmed most of the state. The event was highlighted by 4.5 to 5 foot accumulations in West Forks, located in Western Maine.
