    In 1831 A great snowstorm raged from Georgia to Maine.  Snowfall

            across southern New England.
    In 1964 Fort Worth TX received 7.5 inches of snow, and Dallas
            reported a foot of snow.
    In 1987 A winter storm produced a total of 61 inches of snow at
            Rye CO, and wind gusts to 100 mph in Utah.  The storm then
            spread heavy snow from the Texas panhandle to Indiana.  Tulia
            TX received 16 inches of snow, and up to 14 inches was
            reported in western Oklahoma.
    In 1988 A small storm in the western U.S. produced a foot of snow and
            wind gusts to 70 mph in the Lake Tahoe Basin of Nevada.
            Showers and thunderstorms produced 2.28 inches of rain at
            Brownsville TX, their third highest total for any day in
            January.
    In 1989 Strong chinook winds plagued much of the state of Wyoming.
            Winds gusted to 80 mph at Cody, and wind gusts to 100 mph
            were reported in eastern and northwestern Wyoming.
    In 1990 Heavy snow fell across the Prince Williams Sound area and
            the Susitna Valley of southern Alaska.  Valdez was buried
            under 64.9 inches of snow in less than two days, including
            a record 47.5 inches in 24 hours.  Up to 44 inches of snow
            was reported in the Susitna Valley.  The heavy snow blocked
            roads, closed schools, and sank half a dozen vessels in the
            harbor.
    In 2003 (15th-17th) A mid-winter storm dumped heavy snow across
            several states. Among those receiving significant snow were
