Feb. 09 1994 - Minnisota's worst ice storm since 1951 put 3-6" of ice on the North part of the state. 4,700+ miles of power lines downed; 8,000 utility poles toppled. 750,000 customers without power, some for 1 month. $1.3 billion damage to 3.7 million acres of forestland.
 
Feb. 10 1933 - Oregon's record coldest temp of -54f was observed at Seneca; only 8 states have observed coler ratings (AK, CO, ID, MN, MT, ND, SD, and WY). Tomorrow's high of 45f will be a 99 degree warm-up.
 
Feb 11, 1999 - Today's snowfall of 57" at Tahtsa Lake West, BC, set Canada's 24-hour snow record. The old record was 46.5" (1/7/1974) at Lakelse, BC, which replaced a record set in summer - 44" on 6/29/1963 at Livingston Ranger Station, AB.

I remember that one.

Upstate NY got hit hard. Big transmission towers toppled. That was a site to see! Folks were without power for WEEKS in the dead cold of winter. Some had to literally chop their furniture up for firewood to survive! Absolutely INSANE!
