...ON THIS DATE IN WEATHER HISTORY...



In 1990, thunderstorms developed from West Texas to

Western Arkansas late in the afternoon and evening. 

Baseball sized hail hammered parts of the Central Red

River in Silo Oklahoma and near Capps Corner Texas, which

is 80 miles northwest of Dallas.  In 1921, Silver Lake

Colorado, located around 25 miles northwest of Boulder,

was most definitely snowed under when a historic, and

obviously late season, winter storm overwhelmed the

resort with nearly 6.5 feet of snow.  This set a 24-hour

record for the United States.  Overall, 87 inches, 7.25

feet, were measured from this historic winter storm.

In 1994, a blizzard struck Hawaii; of course, not at sea

level.	The blizzard closed roads above 10,000 feet on

Mauna Kea and Mauna Loa for 2 days.
