    Weather data after 1990 is PARTIAL. For more current

    website at www.ncdc.noaa.gov
    In 1917 Thane Creek AK reported a snow cover of 190 inches.
    In 1920 The worst tornado disaster of record occurred in
            Chicago IL as a tornado killed 28 persons and caused
            three million dollars damage.
    In 1935 (28th-31st) A severe dust storm, lasting 84 hours, blanketed
            Amarillo Texas, leaving visibility near zero for one 6 hour
            period.
    In 1984 A severe outbreak of tornadoes hit the Carolinas.
            Thunderstorms spawned 22 tornadoes during the late
            afternoon and evening hours which killed 57 persons and
            injured 1248 others.  Nearly half the deaths occurred
            in mobile homes.  A tornado from near Tatum SC to
            southern Cumberland County NC was 2.5 miles in width
            at times.
    In 1987 A blizzard raged from southern Nebraska to central
            Iowa.  Snowfall totals ranged up to 17 inches at Blue
            Hill NE.  Winds gusted to 68 mph at Carroll IA.  High
            winds produced snow drifts twenty feet high in western
            Iowa, and produced wind chill readings as cold as
            30 degrees below zero in Nebraska.  The snowfall total
            of 9.4 inches at Omaha NE was a record for the date.
    In 1988 Severe thunderstorms in central Oklahoma produced
            hail up to four inches in diameter causing 35 million
            dollars in southern Oklahoma County.  Baseball size
            hail and seven inches of rain caused another eighteen
            million dollars damage in Stephens County.
    In 1989 Unseasonably warm weather prevailed from the Southern
            and Central Plains to the Atlantic coast.  Eighteen
            cities reported new record high temperatures for the
            date.  The afternoon high of 81 degrees at Beckley WV
            was a record for March, and the high of 90 degrees in
            downtown Baltimore MD tied their March record.
    In 1990 A storm system brought heavy snow to the west central
            and southern mountains of Wyoming, and high winds to
            the Wasatch Mountains of northern Utah.  Snowfall
            totals in Wyoming ranged up to 10 inches at the Snowy
            Ski Range Area, and the storm pushed the snowfall total
            for the month at Cheyenne above 37 inches, surpassing
            their previous record for March of 35 inches.
    In 2000 Fort Worth and Arlington, Texas were hit by F2 and F3
            tornadoes, respectively. Four were killed, and hundreds
            more were injured and left homeless.
