    In 1888 Sacramento CA received 3.5 inches of snow, an all-time record
            for that location.  The heaviest snow in recent history was
            two inches on February 5th in 1976.
    In 1971 A blizzard raged from Kansas to Wisconsin, claiming 27 lives
            in Iowa.  Winds reached 50 mph, and the storm produced up to
            20 inches of snow.
    In 1982 Milwaukee WI was shut down completely as a storm buried the
            city under 16 inches of snow in 24 hours.  It was the worst
            storm in thirty-five years.
    In 1987 A storm moving off the Pacific Ocean spread wintry weather
            across the southwestern U.S., with heavy snow extending from
            southern California to western Wyoming.  Up to 15 inches of
            snow blanketed the mountains of southern California, and
            rainfall totals in California ranged up to 2.20 inches in the
            Chino area.
    In 1994 A major winter storm blanketed much of the northeastern U.S.
            with heavy snow. More than two feet was reported in
            northwestern Pennsylvania, with 33 inches at Waynesburg.
            There were ten heart attacks, and 185 injuries, related to
            the heavy snow in northwest Pennsylvania.  Whiteout
            conditions were reported in Vermont and in northeastern
            New York State. A wind gust to 75 mph was clocked at
            Shaftsbury VT. In the Adirondacks of eastern New York State,
            the town of Tupper reported five inches of snow between 1 PM
            and 2 PM.
