    In 1913 The Ohio River Basin flood reached a climax.  Ten inch
            rains over a wide area of the Ohio River Basin
            inundated cities in Ohio, drowning 467 persons, and
            causing 147 million dollars damage.  The Miami River at
            Dayton reached a level eight feet higher than ever
            before.  The flood, caused by warm wather and heavy
            rains, was the second most deadly of record for the
            nation.
    In 1954 The temperature at Allaket AK plunged to 69 degrees
            below zero.
    In 1971 Parts of northern and central Georgia experienced their
            worst snow and ice storm since 1935.  Two day power
            outages ruined two million eggs at poultry hatcheries.
            Two persons were killed when a tree landed on their
            car.  (25th-26th)
    In 1987 A cold front crossing the Plateau Region produced high
            winds in Utah causing some property damage.  Winds
            gusted to 51 mph at Salt Lake City.
    In 1988 Twenty cities in the southwestern U.S. reported new
            record high temperatures for the date.  Afternoon highs
            of 73 at Flagstaff AZ, 90 at Sacramento CA, 95 at Santa
            Maria CA and Los Angeles CA, 99 at Tucson AZ, and
            100 degrees at Phoenix AZ set records for March.
    In 1989 The "Easter Bunny" brought record warm temperatures to
            the central U.S. while such records were still welcome.
            A dozen cities reported record warm readings, including
            Dodge City KS with an afternoon high of 88 degrees.
            Strong southerly winds gusted to 51 mph at Dodge City,
            and reached 55 mph at Salina KS.
    In 1990 Fair weather prevailed across the nation for the second
            day in a row.  Freezing temperatures were reported in
            the Middle Atlantic Coast Region in the wake of an
            early spring snowstorm.  Afternoon highs were again in
            the 70s and 80s in the southeastern U.S., and for the
            ninth day in a row, temperatures in the southwestern
            U.S. reached the 90s.
