In 1937 The wettest Inaugural Day of record with 1.77 inches of rain
in 24 hours. Temperatures were only in the 30s as Franklin
D. Roosevelt was sworn in for his second term.
In 1943 Strange vertical antics took place in the Black Hills of
South Dakota. While the temperature at Deadwood was a
frigid 16 degrees below zero, the town of Lead, just a
mile and a half away, but 600 feet higher in elevation,
reported a balmy 52 degree reading.
In 1954 The temperature at Rogers Pass MT plunged to 70 degrees
below zero to establish a new record for the continental U.S.
In 1978 A paralyzing "Nor'easter" produced a record 21 inches of snow
at Boston, 15 to 20 inches in Rhode Island, and one to two
feet of snow in Pennsylvania. Winds along the coast of
Connecticut gusted to 70 mph.
In 1982 (20th-21st) 17.3 inches snow on Minneapolis, Minnesota set
its single storm record, broken by the 19.9 inches which
fell on the 22nd-23rd!
In 1987 Gale force winds lingered along the northern Atlantic coast
in the wake of a holiday weekend storm. High winds along
the eastern slopes of the Northern Rockies gusted to 67 mph
at Livingston MT, and high winds in southern California
gusted to 70 mph near San Bernardino.
In 1988 A storm in the Upper Midwest produced heavy snow and gale
force winds. Up to 27.5 inches of snow was reported along
the Lake Superior shoreline of Michigan, with 22 inches at
Marquette.
In 1989 The temperature in the Washington D.C. area warmed into the
lower 50s for the Presidential Inauguration during the late
morning hours, before gusty northwest winds ushered in colder
air that afternoon.
In 1990 While heavy thunderstorm rains drenched the Central Gulf
Coast States, with 4.23 inches reported at Centreville AL
in 24 hours, unseasonably warm weather continued across
Florida. Five cities in Florida reported record high
temperatures for the date. Tampa FL equalled their record
high for January of 85 degrees.
