In 1915 A heavy snowstorm kicked off the snowiest winter
in modern records for western New England.
A severe Florida freeze occurred. Morning lows
reached 35 degrees at Miami, 18 at Tampa, and 12 at
Jacksonville. It was the coldest December weather of the
20th century and caused millions of dollars damage to
crops and foliage. In Georgia, the morning low of
9 degrees below zero at Blairsville established a state
record for the month of December.
In 1987 A major winter storm produced high winds and heavy snow
in the Southern Rockies and the Southern High Plains.
Snowfall totals in New Mexico ranged up to 25 inches at
Cedar Crest, with up to three feet of snow reported in
the higher elevations. Winds of 75 mph, with gusts to
124 mph, were reported northeast of Albuquerque NM.
El Paso TX was buried under 22.4 inches of snow,
including a single storm record of 16.8 inches in
24 hours. The snowfall total surpassed their previous
record for an entire winter season of 18.4 inches.
Record cold was experienced the next three nights as
readings dipped into the single numbers. High winds
ushering unseasonably cold air into the southwestern U.S.
gusted to 100 mph at Grapevine CA.
In 1988 Low pressure off the Atlantic coast produced up to a foot
of snow in eastern Nassau County and western Suffolk
County of southeastern New York State. Mild weather
prevailed across the western half of the country. Nine
cities reported record high temperatures for the date,
including Goodland KS with a reading of 74 degrees.
In 1989 Strong northwesterly winds, ushering bitterly cold arctic
air into the central U.S., produced squalls with heavy
snow in the Great Lakes Region. Snowfall totals in Upper
Michigan ranged up to 24 inches at Manistique. Nine
cities in Arkansas and Texas reported record low
temperatures for the date, including Calico Rock AR with
a reading of 4 degrees above zero.
