 On this day...
    In 1913 The temperature in Downtown San Francisco soared to
            101 degrees to equal their record for October.
    In 1937 An unlikely winter-like storm produced as much as ten
            inches of snow in Minnesota and Iowa.
    In 1987 Ten cities in the southeastern U.S. reported record low
            temperatures for the date.  The low of 34 degrees at
            Augusta GA marked their third straight morning of record
            cold.  A cold front brought showers and thunderstorms to
            parts of the central U.S.  Lightning struck a bull and
            six cows under a tree near Battiest OK.
    In 1988 Late afternoon thunderstorms produced severe weather in
            southwestern Lower Michigan and northern Indiana.  One
            thunderstorm spawned a tornado north of Nappanee IN which
            caused half a million dollars damage.  Six cities in
            California reported record high temperatures for the
            date.  The afternoon high of 100 degrees at Red Bluff CA
            was the latest such reading of record for so late in the
            autumn season.
    In 1989 Heavy snow blanketed the foothills of Colorado.  Up to
            three inches was reported around Denver.  Echo Lake was
            buried under nineteen inches of snow.   Temperatures
            again warmed into the 80s and lower 90s in the eastern
            and south central U.S.  Thirteen cities reported record
            high temperatures for the date, including Atlantic City
            NJ with a reading of 84 degrees.
