1907: Today was the warmest March day ever recorded in Washington, DC with a maximum temperature of 93 degrees. Washington DC has seen three, 90 degrees days in March, all of which occurred in 1907.

1913 - A vicious tornado hit the city of Omaha, NE. The tornado struck during the late afternoon on Easter Sunday, and in just twelve minutes cut a swath of total destruction five miles long and two blocks wide across the city killing 94 persons and causing 3.5 million dollars property damage. (David Ludlum)

1916 - Pocatello, ID, received a record 14.6 inches of snow in 24 hours. (The Weather Channel)

1987 - A blizzard raged across western Kansas, and the panhandle of Texas and Oklahoma. Pampa TX received 21 inches of snow, and winds gusted to 78 mph at Dodge City KS Altus OK. Governor Hayden declared forty-six counties in western Kansas a disaster area. In southwest Kansas, the storm was described as the worst in thirty years. (The National Weather Summary) (Storm Data)

1988 - Thunderstorms developing along a strong cold front spawned tornadoes near Roberts ID and Bridger MT. Strong and gusty winds prevailed in the western U.S. Wind gusts in the southwest part of Reno NV reached 89 mph. (The National Weather Summary) (Storm Data)

1989 - Charlotte and Wilmington, NC, reported rainfall records for the date as showers and thunderstorms prevailed in the southeastern U.S. Freezing rain glazed parts of North Carolina and southern Virginia. Gale force winds produced a heavy surf along the coast of North Carolina. (The National Weather Summary) (Storm Data)

1990 - An upper level storm system produced heavy snow in the Lower Missouri Valley. Snowfall totals ranged up to nine inches at Kansas City MO, with eight inches reported at Falls City NE, Columbia MO and Saint Louis MO. Thunderstorms produced heavy snow in the Kansas City area during the evening rush hour. (The National Weather Summary) (Storm Data)

2007 - A trailer is thrown through a bowling alley as a tornado moves through Clovis, NM. About 100 homes and businesses are destroyed, at least three schools are damaged and telephone poles are snapped. Thirteen tornadoes struck a dozen communities along the New Mexico/Texas border. Two people were critically injured.

2011 - A series of tornados are spawned from severe thunderstorms in Pennsylvania. In Hempfield Township dozens of homes and a high school auditorium where students are rehearsing a play are severely damaged.

The same people on these forums still chasing snow ghosts. Gotta admire their determination, they’ve been going strong since November, 5 months and counting….

The only thing even remotely wintry are the cold temperatures this morning and this wind.  On a more positive note, a huge flock of parrots came and sunned themselves on my roof and I got some nice images.  

There is some kind of enmity between parrots and starlings, when one flock comes the other one immediately leaves lol.

Nature is way more interesting than our weather right now, although I love the clear blue skies -- regardless of temperatures.

Yes very cold plus wind chill.

I love the clear skies, though.

The spring birds don't care about the cold, I saw a huge flock of parrots and got some nice images this morning.

and really wet snow right-- lots of trees down!!

I was only in 8th grade, I had qualified for the State Championship Geography Bee. That year it was being held in Oneonta. 

If I had made it to the National Championship I would have seen Alex Trebek since he was the host.

Oh that would have been awesome! I didn't even know there was such a thing.  I made it to the National Spelling Bee in 8th grade but lost on a word I had never heard of, *otioseness*.  I didn't even have the full list of words, just the first half (A-M).  Most were easy to spell phonetically because they were medical words (my mom was a radiation oncologist and I read her books lol.)

Otioseness can't be spelled phonetically =\

Wow you made it to the national level Spelling Bee? That is very impressive. 

I made to the state championship three years in a row, 6th 7th and 8th grade. Never made it to the nationals, those kids know the most obscure geography facts lol

Boston is at a similar latitude as Albany so that will do it in a marginal setup. Had it been 2 or 3 degrees cooler all that white rain here would have been a foot plus of snow. They are also in a better spot for late maturing miller B’s into the gulf of Maine. And often get some ocean enchantment. 

Thanks-- that's probably why the forecasts were for 8-16 inches.  Such a borderline set up.

 

April 1996 was a few degrees colder-- aloft as well as the surface.  I remember when the snowstorm started it was 36 after a heavy morning frost low of 28.

Amazing that it was that cold on April 9-10, 1996!

And it was in the 80s a few days after that.

I placed 9th so it was okay.  I was really nervous so I misspelled the practice round word (very embarrassing!) before the Bee even started. So I was shocked I made it as far as I did.

I loved the game Geography though, we played it a lot in 7th and 8th grade. I remember it was really annoying when we got stuck on the letter A (so in this game you have to name a place that starts with the last letter of the previous place)-- so we would have-- America, Algeria, Andorra, Africa, etc., you get the point, there's a lot of words that both start and end with *A* lol.

Yeah if I had access to google earth as a kid I probably would have too! It gets a little boring staring at an actually globe.
 Even now I spend hours looking for obscure surf breaks in isolated places.  Also glacial retreat facisnates me and can be seen on GE.

I've definitely learned of countries that I never knew existed

effects of the SSW starting to show up on models...looks like a chilly 2-3 weeks coming up...just when we don't want it.

The EPS is warmer overall next few weeks with a few colder days mixed in when the backdoors drop south before retreating north again.
