In 1816 A black frost over most of New England kills unripened
corn in the north resulting in a year of famine.
In 1959 A tornado 440 yards in width traveled 20 miles from near
Hollow OK to western Cherokee County KS. Although a
strong tornado, it was very slow moving, and gave a
tremendous warning roar, and no one was killed.
In 1970 Afternoon highs of 103 degrees at Long Beach CA and
105 degrees at the Los Angeles Civic Center were the
hottest since September records were established in 1963.
Fierce Santa Ana winds accompanying the extreme heat
resulted in destructive fires.
In 1985 A record early season snowstorm struck the Central High
Plains Region. The storm left up to nineteen inches of
snow along the Colorado Front Range, and as much as a
foot of snow in the plains.
In 1987 While those at the base of Mount Washington NH enjoyed
sunny skies and temperatures in the 70s, the top of the
mountain was blanketed with 4.7 inches of snow, along
with wind gusts to 99 mph, and a temperature of
13 degrees. Severe thunderstorms developed along a cold
front in the south central U.S. A thunderstorm west of
Noodle TX produced golf ball size hail and wind gusts to
70 mph.
In 1988 Thunderstorms developing ahead of a cold front produced
large hail in southeast Wyoming during the afternoon,
with tennis ball size hail reported at Cheyenne. Strong
winds ushering the cold air into the north central U.S.
gusted to 59 mph at Lander WY.
In 1989 Freezing temperatures were reported in the Great Lakes
Region and the Ohio Valley. Houghton Lake MI reported a
record low of 21 degrees. Thunderstorms in the western
U.S. produced wind gusts to 50 mph at Salt Lake City UT,
and wind gusts to 58 mph at Cody WY.
