The fall and Winter of 1976-1977 was one of the coldest I can ever remember. From Nov when the temp got down to 18 on Thanksgiving Day, (brutal wind made it feel like -20) through January when the entire continental US had cloud cover the entire month, to the brutal snow storms that year.

Humans took a similar route to reach North America some 15,000 years ago, but the hyena migration happened much earlier.
The humans already in South America beg to differ. :^) So do the humans who didn't rely on land migration, e.g. the ancestors of everyone.
Thanks DUMBGRUNT.
