 Today is Monday  April 3, 2006.
 This is the 93rd day of the year, there are 272 days left.

 On this day...
    In 1955 Record snows fell in north central Wyoming and south central
            Montana.  Billings MT received a storm total of 42.3 inches,
            and on the 4th reported a record snow depth of 35 inches.
            Sheridan WY established a 24 hour snowfall record of 26.7
            inches. (2nd-4th)
    In 1974 A "Super-Outbreak" of tornadoes ravaged the Midwest and the
            eastern U.S.  Severe weather erupted early in the afternoon
            and continued through the next day.  Severe thunderstorms
            spawned 148 tornadoes from Alabama to Michigan, most of which
            occurred between 1 PM (CST) on the 3rd and 1 AM on the 4th.
            The tornadoes killed 315 persons, injured 5300 others, and
            caused 600 million dollars damage.  Alabama, Kentucky and
            Ohio were especially hard hit in the tornado outbreak.
            One tornado destroyed half of the town of Xenia OH killing
            34 persons.  Another tornado, near the town of Stamping
            Ground KY, produced a path of destruction a record 5 miles
            in width. A tornado raced through Guin AL at a speed of 75
            mph. Two powerful tornadoes roared across northern Alabama
            during the early evening hours, killing fifty persons and
            injuring 500 others.  Some rescue vehicles responding to
            the first tornado were struck by the second.
    In 1987 A storm in the southeastern U.S. produced a trace of snow at
            Mobile AL, one inch at Jackson MS, and two inches at
            Meridian MS, the latest snow of record for those three
            locations.  Birmingham AL received seven inches of snow, and
            up to nine inches was reported in northeast Alabama.
    In 1988 A wind gust to 114 mph was clocked at Ann Arbor MI during
            a tornadic thunderstorm.  Thunderstorms in Michigan and
            Indiana spawned five tornadoes that Easter Sunday, and also
            produced golf ball size hail.
    In 1989 Thunderstorms produced severe weather from the Southern
            Plains to the southern and central Appalachians.  The
            thunderstorms spawned twenty tornadoes, including one which
            caused eight million dollars damage at Fort Branch IN.
    In 1990 Rain and snow prevailed in the northeastern U.S., with snow
            reported in New York State.  Boston MA was soaked with 2.91
            inches of rain during the day and night, and up to half a
            foot of snow blanketed the hills of Steuben County NY that
            Tuesday night.
