 Today is Friday  November 30, 2012.
 This is the 335th day of the year, there are 31 days left.

 On this day...
    Final day of the Atlantic Hurricane Season.
    Final day of the Eastern Pacific Hurricane Season.
    Final day of meterological autumn.
    In 1875 A severe early season cold wave set November records
            in the northeastern U.S.  The temperature dipped to
            5 above zero at New York City, 2 below at Boston MA, and
            13 below at Eastport ME.
    In 1957 Lee slope winds enhanced by Hurricane Nina gusted to
            82 mph at Honolulu, Hawaii, a record wind gust for that
            location.  Wainiha, on the island of Kauai, was deluged
            with 20.42 inches of rain, and 35 foot waves pounded some
            Kauai beaches, even though the eye of the hurricane was
            never within 120 miles of the islands.  (30th-1st)
    In 1967 A record November snowstorm struck Washington D.C.
            It produced up to a foot of snow in a 12 hour period.
    In 1976 MacLeod Harbor AK reported a precipitation total for
            November of 70.99 inches, which established a state
            record for any month of the year.
    In 1987 Showers produced heavy rain in the northeastern U.S.  Up
            to three inches of rain drenched the Brandywine Creek
            Basin of Pennsylvania, and rainfall totals in Vermont
            ranged up to two inches at Dorsett.  Snow fell heavily
            across Upper Michigan as gale force winds prevailed over
            Lake Superior.  A storm moving into the northwestern U.S.
            produced gale force winds along the northern and central
            Pacific coast.
    In 1988 Snow in the Upper Great Lakes Region pushed the
            precipitation total for the month at Marquette MI past
            their previous November record of 7.67 inches.  Santa
            Ana winds in southern California gusted to 75 mph at
            Laguna Peak.
    In 1989 Squalls produced heavy snow in the Lower Great Lakes
            Region, with fifteen inches reported at Chaffee NY and at
            Barnes Corners NY.  Tropical Storm Karen drenched parts
            of Cuba with heavy rain.  Punta Del Este reported
            fourteen inches of rain in 24 hours.
    In 2004 Tropical Storm Otto formed in the Atlantic Ocean, about
            810 miles east of Bermuda, on the official final day of
            hurricane season...but it was torn apart by upper level
            winds on the 2nd of December.
