Weather History for April 5
 
1982   An unprecedented April blizzard blanketed much of the central and southern Appalachians. Mt. Mitchell, NC received 35 inches of snow, and up to five feet of snow were reported in the mountains along the North Carolina-Tennessee border.

1997   A severe ice and snow storm affected eastern North Dakota with winds up to 65 mph and visibility near zero. The weight of ice downed many power lines and caused a 2000 ft TV tower to collapse.
