    Final day of meterological winter in a leap year.
    In 1748 The heaviest snow of the "Winter of the Deep Snow" in New
            England came to an end.  Coastal Salem was left with more
            than thirty inches of snow on the ground.
    In 1964 Thompson Pass AK finished the month with 346.1 inches of
            snow, a record monthly total for the state of Alaska.
    In 1988 "Leap Day" proved to be a wet one for southern
            California, with 4.76 inches of rain reported at Tommys
            Creek in Ventura County.  February went out like a lamb
            across much of the rest of the nation.  Sixteen cities in
            the central and western U.S. reported record high
            temperatures for the date. 
    In 2012 During the early morning hours, tornadoes ripped across
            southern Missouri and southern Illinois. An EF4 tornado
            blased through Harrisburg, Illnois, before daybreak,
            killing 6 people. Shortly after midnight, a few hours
            before the EF4 tornado, an EF2 tornado tracked through
            Highway 76, the main tourist strip, in Branson, Missouri.
            The entertainment district was hit, with at least 35
            people injured, and several places damaged or destroyed.
