I remember both days well; 1964 included a Julyesque thunder boomer. and I performed in a midnight church service in 1983 - the electricity and heat had gone up... couldn't have been out of the low forties in that rural chapel.

I do remember a Christmas when it was about 10 degrees or so and I went out and took about a seven mile jog with plastic sweat pants on. There was ice inside the bottoms of the sweat pants when I got back. It could have been '83. Oh yea, I'd be lucky if I could ride seven miles in a car now.
I remember the warm New Years days more that Christmases. A couple or more 70 or over. I still remember a guy riding a bike without a shirt.
