 Today is Saturday  January 24, 2026.
 This is the 24th day of the year, there are 341 days left.

 On this day...
    Weather data after 1990 is PARTIAL. For more current
    weather history, go to the National Climate Data Center
    website at www.ncdc.noaa.gov
    In 1916 The temperature at Browning MT plunged 100 degrees in just
            24 hours, from 44 degrees above zero to 56 degrees below
            zero. It was a record 24 hour temperature drop for the U.S.
    In 1935 Snowstorms hit the northeastern U.S. and the Pacific
            Northwest producing record 24 hour snowfall totals of 23
            inches at Portland ME and 52 inches at Winthrop MA.
    In 1956 Thirty-eight inches of rain deluged the Kilauea Sugar
            Plantation of Hawaii in 24 hours, including twelve inches
            in just one hour.
    In 1963 A great arctic outbreak reached the southern U.S.  The cold
            wave broke many records for duration of cold weather along
            the Gulf Coast.  A reading of 15 degrees below zero at
            Nashville TN was an all-time record low for that location.
    In 1982 Chinook winds plagued the foothills of southeastern Wyoming
            and northern and central Colorado for the second straight
            Sunday. The winds gusted to 140 mph at Wondervu CO, located
            northeast of Denver.  Chinook winds a week earlier produced
            wind gusts to 137 mph.
    In 1987 Temperatures in Minnesota plunged far below the zero mark.
            International Falls MN reported a morning low of 35 degrees
            below zero, and Warroad MN was the cold spot in the nation
            with a low of 45 below zero.  A storm developing in
            northeastern Texas produced severe thunderstorms with large
            hail in Texas, Louisiana and Arkansas.  Camden AR reported
            golf ball size hail.
    In 1988 A blizzard rapidly developed in the north central U.S.
            In just one hour weather conditions in eastern North Dakota
            switched from sunny skies, light winds and temperature
            readings in the 20s, to rapidly falling temperatures and
            near zero visibility in snow and blowing snow.  High winds
            in Wyoming, gusting to 72 mph at Gillette, produced snow
            drifts sixteen feet high.  Northwestern Iowa experienced
            its second blizzard in just 24 hours.  High winds in Iowa
            produced wind chill readings as cold as 65 degrees below
            zero.
    In 1989 Heavy snow blanketed the Rockies and the Northern High Plains
            Region.  Hettinger ND received 12 inches of snow.  Wolf Creek
            Pass CO was blanketed with 16 inches of snow in just 24
            hours.  Severe cold prevailed across Alaska.  Between the
            24th and the 29th of January, a total of thirty stations in
            the state report all-time record low temperatures.
    In 1990 A deep low pressure system brought high winds and heavy snow
            to the western Aleutian Islands of Alaska.  Winds gusting to
            82 mph at Shemya reduced the visibility to near zero in
            blowing snow. Rain and gale force winds lashed the northern
            Pacific coast. Thunderstorms produced locally heavy rains
            over the central Gulf coast states.
    In 2000 Raleigh-Durham, NC was paralyzed by a record 20.4 inches
            of snow...which shut the airport down for several days.
