The Great Blizzard of 1899 was an unprecedented winter weather event that affected the southern United States. What made it historic was both the severity of winter weather and the extent of the U.S. it affected, especially in the South. The first reports indicated record-high barometric pressure over Assiniboia (now Saskatchewan) due to the weight of the frigid and dense air. Later reports of the impending freeze were relayed down through Florida by the Florida East Coast Railway. ==Arctic cold== The event started out on February 11 as a severe cold wave in which every part of the East Coast from Florida to Maine received sub-zero Fahrenheit temperatures. The following record low temperatures for February were achieved: * Cape May, New Jersey: all-time record low * Gainesville, Florida: all-time record low * Tallahassee, Florida: (only recorded instance of a sub-zero Fahrenheit temperature in Florida) * Diamond, Georgia: * Atlanta, Georgia: all-time record low * Sandy Hook, Kentucky: * Minden, Louisiana: all-time record low for Louisiana * Fort Logan, Montana: * Camp Clark, Nebraska: tied for Nebraska's all-time record low * Raleigh, North Carolina: * Milligan, Ohio: all-time record low for Ohio * Lawrenceville, Pennsylvania: * Marienville, Pennsylvania: * Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania: (the coldest temperature on record until reaching on January 19, 1994) * Kansas City, Missouri: (coldest temperature on record until the December 1989 cold wave with measurements) * Columbia, Missouri: all-time record low * Santuc, South Carolina: * Harrison, Arkansas: ,〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=NWS Little Rock, AR - Climate Data )〕 all-time record low * Erasmus, Tennessee: * Austin, Texas: * Dallas, Texas: , all-time record low * San Antonio, Texas: * Monterey, Virginia: all-time record low for Virginia until 1985 * Dayton, West Virginia: * Washington, D.C.: all-time record low * Altoona, Pennsylvania: (the coldest temperature on record in Altoona until reaching on January 18, 1994) 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Great Blizzard of 1899」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
