 On this day...
    In 1892 Portland OR was buried under a record 27.5 inches of
            snow.  (21st-24th)
    In 1929 An exceptional storm produced snow from the Middle Rio
            Grande Valley of Texas to southern Arkansas.  The storm
            produced 26 inches of snow at Hillsboro TX, 18 inches at
            El Dorado AR, and 14 inches at Bossier LA.  (21st-22nd)
    In 1964 A great warm surge from the Pacific Ocean across Oregon
            and northern California brought torrential rains on a
            deep snow cover resulting in record floods.
    In 1987 High winds continued along the eastern slopes of the
            Rockies.  During the morning hours winds gusted to 64 mph
            at Cheyenne WY, and reached 97 mph near Boulder CO.  Gale
            force winds prevailed across the Great Lakes Region.
    In 1988 Seven cities in the eastern U.S. reported record high
            temperatures for the date, including Charleston SC with
            a reading of 78 degrees.  A storm in the northwestern
            U.S. produced 22 inches of snow at Idaho City ID in two
            days, and up to two feet of snow at Happy Camp CA.  Ski
            resorts in Idaho reported three to six feet of snow on
            the ground.
    In 1989 Forty cities in the north central U.S., thirteen in Iowa,
            reported record low temperatures for the date.  Havre Mt
            and Jordan MT tied for honors as the cold spot in the
            nation with morning lows of 43 degrees below zero, and
            the temperature remained close to 40 degrees below zero
            through the daylight hours.  Dickinson ND reported a
            morning low of 33 degrees below zero and a wind chill
            reading of 86 degrees below zero.  The high for the date
            of 16 degrees below zero at Sioux Falls SD was a December
            record for that location.
