This Day In Weather History

 
In 1985, Buffalo, New York, was snowed under when 3 consecutive days of snow squalls finally ended. In the 3-day span, the airport was buried under 33 inches of snow, while many suburbs were overwhelmed by NEARLY 4 FEET. Many counties were declared disaster areas. The snow storm occurred during a 3-day Arctic invasion that proved historic for most of the nation. Akron, Ohio dove to 24 below on both the 20th and 21st, tied for 2nd on their all-time coldest temperature list, being edged out by a low 25 below set on January 19th, 1994. The 24 below temperature in Knoxville, Tennessee easily set their all-time low, shattering the mark of 18 below set just the day before.
