In 1764 A "very remarkable storm of snow with high winds"
produced 22 inches at Rutland in central Massachusetts.
In 1929 A snowstorm dumped 27 inches upon Ishpeming MI in
24 hours to establish a state record.
In 1962 An early season winter storm over New England blanketed
northern Maine with 7 to 16 inches of snow, and
southeastern New England with up to 3 inches of snow.
Worcester MA received a record 4.7 inches of snow.
In 1972 A sleeping couple in FL were awakened by rain after a
tornado removed the roof. They escaped as the house blew
away.
In 1987 Showers and thunderstorms produced locally heavy rain
from Virginia to New York State. Fallen leaves made
roads and sidewalks slick, and also clogged sewers.
Rainfall totals of 1.55 inches at Newark NJ, 1.54 inches
at Harrisburg PA, 1.27 inches at Scranton PA, and 1.22
inches at Atlantic City NJ, were records for the date.
In 1988 Low pressure brought snow and gale force winds to the
Great Lakes Region, and snow and high winds to the north
central U.S. Winds gusted to 47 mph at Lansin MI, and
reached 55 mph at Pierre SD.
In 1989 Wintry weather invaded the northwestern U.S. A storm
crossing the Central Rockies produced up to 23 inches of
snow in the mountains east of Salt Lake City UT. "Indian
Summer" continued in the Lower Ohio Valley and the Upper
Great Lakes Region. Afternoon highs of 71 at Marquette
MI and 72 at Sault Ste Marie MI were records for the date.
In 2017 Sleet fell across portions of Arkansas in the wake of a
cold front that moved across the state. Sleet counts as
snow, and the sleet that fell at Little Rock, made it the
earliest snow on record for a winter at Little Rock.
