Valley resulted in 73 deaths and extensive damage across
Arkansas, Mississippi and Tennessee.

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
