    In 1740 In early December two weeks of mild and rainy weather
            culminated in the worst flood in fifty years in the Lower
            Connecticut River Valley.  The Merrimack River swelled to
            its highest level, and in Maine the raging waters swept
            away mills, carried off bridges, and ruined highways.
    In 1886 Heavy snow fell on the South and Appalachians, with 11"
            in Montgomery, AL, 25" in Rome, GA and 33" in
            Asheville, NC.
    In 1935 Severe flooding hit parts of the Houston TX area.  Eight
            persons were killed as 100 city blocks were inundated.
            Satsuma reported 16.49 inches of rain.  The Buffalo and
            White Oak Bayous crested on the 9th.  (6th-8th)
    In 1987 Heavy rain fell across eastern Puerto Rico, with
            19.41 inches reported at Las Piedras.  Flooding caused
            five million dollars damage.  Another in a series of
            storms hit the northwestern U.S., with wind gusts above
            100 mph reported at Cape Blanco OR.  While snow and gusty
            winds accompanied a cold front crossing the Rockies,
            strong westerly winds, gusting to 93 mph at Boulder CO,
            helped temperatures in western Kansas reach the 60s for
            the sixth day in a row.
    In 1988 An outbreak of cold arctic air brought up to 18 inches of
            snow to the Colorado Rockies, with 14 inches at Boulder
            CO, and seven inches at Denver.  Heavy snow blanketed New
            Mexico the following day, with 15 inches reported near
            Ruidoso.
    In 1989 A storm moving out of the Central Rocky Mountain Region
            spread snow across Kansas and Oklahoma into Arkansas and
            Tennessee.  Snowfall totals ranged up to 7.5 inches at
            Winfield KS.  Freezing rain on trees and power lines cut
            off electricity to 24,000 homes in northeastern Arkansas,
            and 40,000 homes in the Nashville TN area were without
            electricity for several hours.
