1998: A winter storm tracked across South Dakota resulting in heavy snow of 6 to 8 inches across most of central South Dakota from the evening of the 6th into the afternoon of the 7th. Some snowfall amounts included 6 inches at Fort Pierre and near Stephan, 7 inches at Blunt, Pierre, and Murdo, and 8 inches across far southern Jones and Lyman counties. Many activities were canceled and travel was significantly disrupted, especially on Interstate-90.

1717: The Great Snow, a composite of four winter storms to hit the eastern U.S. over nine days, finally came to an end. Snow depths averaged 60 inches following the storms. Up to four feet of snow fell around Boston, and snow drifts 25 feet high were reported around Dorchester, MA.

1932: A powerful low pressure system set numerous low pressure records from Virginia to New England. The barometer dropped to 28.20 inches at Block Island, RI.

1962: A powerful nor'easter lingered just off the mid-Atlantic coast for three days, resulting in severe damage along the ocean shore of the Delmarva Peninsula. Forty people were killed, and the few homesteads that were on the outer islands were destroyed.
