My memory of January ‘85 was the cancellation of Reagan’s 2nd Inaugural at the Capitol. It was so very bitter cold, the swearing in had to be moved to the White House. I felt so badly for all those high school bands that had been raising $$ for four years so they could come to Washington for a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to march in an Inaugural parade. And I felt awful for a friend who’d come in from Chicago, having spent a small fortune on a gown to wear to an Inaugural Ball that was also canceled. Ultimately, I felt worse for the kids.
That’s correct.
Oops, I meant to also say if this does pan out it should revive the coming ice age story from the early 80’s,
