I was fifteen during this winter. It was bitter.

Red River at Shreveport, December, 1983.
At the Amhest UB campus when the storm hit. Got stuck on the bus going to the Main St campus. Walked back to Emerald City in the blizzard. After two days we Ran out of food in the cafeteria. Took a sled to the 7/11 and bought beer to sell to our mates. Good times!
And the newscasters, they are so stilted and serious-looking. You get the impression their were soldiers with machine guns off-camera making sure they stuck to their scripts.
And those commercials are cheesy beyond belief.
