I remember 1989 very well. 1983 is hazy for me as I was a young buck.
It got down to -2 in Longview in 1989 and the Wind Chill was -15. I was glued to The Weather Channel back then.
5 degrees here in the city that day. I remember being glued to TWC as well and seeing negative value wind chills. It was unreal and I took pictures of the tv (which I later lost) because I figured it might not ever happen again.

Ironically, we were in the the mountains of NC on a ski trip - southern Blue Ridge near Cashiers. It had to be -15°F at night and barely above 0°F during the day. Layers, layers, layers and skiing as a workout. Slopes were thick with half natural, half man-made snow. Didn't bother me much at all. It helps to be young!
In December 1989, my Grandparents, living in Spring at the time, came to visit us up in Plano over the holidays.
I think they stayed with us an extra day because of ice.
When they got home, the house was flooded from busted pipes.
1989 was wicked. I remember driving to deer lease in Burnett and every little town we passed was 3 to 5 degrees colder. It was 6 degrees when we woke up.
Highway 105...get over it. The name is what it is. If it's a boundary line, frontal passages can't read maps. Rain happens south of that line when we could use some north of it in the summer.
