    In 1875 The temperature at Cheyenne WY dipped to an all-time record
            cold reading of -38 degrees.
    In 1888 Severe cold gripped much of the western U.S.  At Portland OR
            the Columbia River was frozen for two weeks, and in southern
            California temperatures dipped below freezing in some of the
            citrus growing areas.
    In 1963 An enormous wave surged into the lagoon at Lagoa do Santos
            Andres, Portugal. The backwash carried 80 into the ocean.
    In 1976 Lake effect snow squalls buried the town of Adams NY under
            68 inches of snow.
    In 1987 A winter storm spread heavy snow from the Central Plains into
            the Great Lakes Region.  Heavier totals included 9 inches at
            Sun City KS, 7 inches at Columbia MO, 11 inches at Terre
            Haute IN, and up to 10 inches in the southern suburbs of
            Chicago IL.
    In 1988 A storm in the northeastern U.S. produced ten inches of snow
            at Boston MA, and 14 inches at Worcester MA.  A winter storm
            in the northwestern U.S. produced a foot of snow in 3 hours
            at McCall ID.
    In 1989 Strong winds prevailed along the eastern slopes of the
            Rockies in Colorado.  Winds gusted to 113 mph at the Air
            Force Academy near Colorado Springs, and reached 115 mph at
            Boulder.
    In 1990 A third storm in four days hit the Pacific Northwest.  Winds
            in Oregon gusted above 100 mph at Netarts and at Oceanside.
            Up to 8.16 inches of rain was reported around Seaside OR,
            and the total of 4.53 inches of rain at Astoria OR was a
            record for the date. Twelve cities in the western U.S.
            reported record high temperatures for the date.  The high
            of 70 degrees at Cedar City UT was a record for January.
