In 1869 A second great windstorm in three days struck Vermont and
New York blowing railroad trains off their tracks.
In 1900 An unusual tornado outbreak in the Lower Mississippi
Valley resulted in 73 deaths and extensive damage across
Arkansas, Mississippi and Tennessee.
In 1914 The high temperature of 28 degrees at Atlanta GA was
their earliest daily high below the freezing mark.
In 1979 A blizzard struck Cheyenne WY producing a record
19.8 inches of snow in 24 hours, and a record total of
25.6 inches, in 40 hours. Strong winds created huge
drifts stopping all transportation. (19th-21st)
In 1981 At Atlanta's Hartsfield International Airport, a weak tornado
tore an engine off a taxiing DC-8.
In 1987 Blustery northwest winds created snow squalls in the
Great Lakes Region and the Upper Ohio Valley. Snowfall
totals in Upper Michigan ranged up to 18 inches at
Paradise. Lake City MI received 9.5 inches of snow in
four and a half hours. Up to a foot of snow blanketed
Oswego County in western New York State. Strong winds
produced wind chill readings as cold as 22 degrees below
zero at Duluth MN.
In 1988 Thunderstorms developing ahead of a fast moving cold
front produced severe weather in the Upper Ohio Valley
and the Middle Atlantic Coast Region during the afternoon
and early evening. Thunderstorm winds gusted to 69 mph
at Kennedy Airport in New York City, and winds along the
cold front itself gusted to 56 mph at Cincinnati OH. The
same storm produced snow in Kansas, Missouri and
Illinois, with eight inches reported at Rolla MO.
In 1989 Low pressure brought thunderstorms and high winds to the
northeastern U.S. There were 193 reports of damaging
winds with thunderstorms in New York State, Pennsylvania
and New Jersey. Tornadoes touched down near Seaside Park
NJ and McAlevys Port PA. Winds with thunderstorms gusted
to 92 mph at Poughkeepsie NY, and reached 94 mph at
Newburgh NY. High winds in the Washington D.C. area,
gusting to 73 mph, resulted in one death.
In 2022 (17th-20th) The Lake Effect Snow Machine off of Lake Erie
was in overdrive, dumping huge amounts of snow in the
Buffalo, New York, and adjacent areas. Thundersnow was
observed in several areas, with snowfall rates of over 3
inches an hour at times. Four day record storm totals were
nearly 7 feet in some areas. Numerous vehicles were left
abandoned on roads, plus travel bans and emergencies were
declared. Even mass transit (buses, Amtrak, etc.) canceled
service, and an NFL game was moved to Detroit, Michigan.
Whiteout conditions existed in many areas with blizzard
conditions. Some structures collapsed due to the heavy
weight of the wet snow on the roofs. Tragically, some
people suffered fatal heart attacks from shoveling snow.

Haven, and as much as three feet in Maine and New
Hampshire. The snowstorm ushered in a long and severe
winter, in some places the ground remained covered with
snow until the following May.

near Mexico Beach FL. Wind gusts to 100 mph were

the eastern U.S. reported record low temperatures for the
date. Record lows included 21 at Pinson AL, 9 at
Syracuse NY, and 8 at Binghmaton NY. Gale force winds
lashed the Middle and Northern Atlantic Coast, and the
strong northwesterly winds produced wind chill readings
as cold as 30 degrees below zero. Winds gusting to 60
mph at Trumansburg NY toppled a chimney onto a nearby
truck.
In 1988 High winds accompanied rain and snow in the northeastern
U.S. Caribou ME received eight inches of snow in six
hours, and Fort Kent ME was blanketed with a total of
fourteen inches of snow.

which we have seen since our arrival here".
In 1957 Extremely destructive Santa Ana winds blew from Oxnard to
San Diego and inland parts of southern California. The

in the Caribbean Sea, eclipsing the mark of Martha (1969)
by about a day. Otto went into central America on
Thanksgiving Day, just north of San Juan De Nicaragua,
as the southernmost landfalling hurricane in central
America on record. He then remerged into the Eastern
Pacific Ocean as a tropical storm on the 25th, before
eventually dissipating. (22nd to 26th).
