In 1926 A Thanksgiving Day tornado outbreak across Arkansas spawned
27 tornadoes and 51 fatalities.
In 1950 A great storm hit the Northern and Central Appalachians
with snow and high winds. Winds reached hurricane force
along eastern slopes of the Appalachians, with gusts of
100 mph at Hartford CT, 110 mph at Concord NH, and 160
mph at Mount Washington NH. Heavy rains also hit the
eastern slopes with eight inches at Slide Mountain NY.
The western slopes were buried under heavy snow. The
storm produced record snowfall totals of 27.7 inches at
Pittsburgh PA and 36.3 inches at Steubenville OH. The
snow, and record cold temperatures, resulted in 160
deaths. (25th-26th)
Snow was so heavy during the Ohio State/Michigan game
that brooms were used to find yard markers & 45 punts
were kicked.
In 1970 The temperature at Tallahassee FL dipped to 13 degrees,
following a high of 40 degrees the previous day. The
mercury then reached 67 degrees on the 26th, and highs
were in the 70s the rest of the month.
In 1983 The "Great Thanksgiving Weekend Blizzard" hit Denver CO.
The storm produced 21.5 inches of snow in 37 hours,
closing Stapleton Airport for 24 hours. The snow and
wind closed interstate highways around Denver.
Visibility at Limon CO was down to zero for 24 hours.
In 1987 An early morning thunderstorm in southeastern Texas
produced high winds which rolled a mobile home east of
Bay City killing two of the four occupants. Thunder-
storms produced locally heavy rains in central and
eastern Texas, with nine inches reported at Huntsville
and 8.5 inches at Wimberly. Snow fell across northern
and central Lower Michigan, with totals ranging up to
nine inches at Cadillac.
In 1988 Thunderstorms produced severe weather in Arkansas,
eastern Oklahoma and northwest Texas during the day
and into the night. Thunderstorms in Texas produced
softball size hail at Alba, and wind gusts to 80 mph at
Krum. Hail and high winds caused nearly five million
dollars damage at Kaufman TX, and strong downburst winds
derailed twenty-eight freight cars at Fruitvale TX.
In 1989 A strong Pacific storm dumped one to three feet of
snow on higher elevations of the Sierra Nevada Range of
California and Nevada. Snowfall totals in California
ranged up to 38 inches at Donner Summit, with 30 inches
at the Sierra Ski Ranch. The storm also produced heavy
snow in Oregon, with 23 inches reported at Santiam Pass.
Another storm crossing the Central Rockies produced 12 to
18 inches of snow in the northern and central mountains
of Colorado.
In 2015 Hurricane Sandy became the 9th major hurricane of the 2015
season in the Eastern Pacific Basin, a record for that
basin...and the strongest tropical cyclone in that basin
for so late in the season.
