Christmas Day 1983 was about ten degrees colder than any other Christmas, and largely wiped out the citrus crop. The warmest Christmas occurred 100 years ago in 1922.

The warmest Christmas at Dixon, Illinois occurred in 1982, and the coldest was 1983.
The summer of 1992 was the coolest on record in the US after the eruption of Mt. Pinatubo on June 15, 1991. We moved to Austin, Texas in May 1992 and I came to the incorrect conclusion the summer weather there was mild.
I remember that very well.

Wonder if this volcanoe caused the heavy rains that nearly knocked down Glen Canyon dam, and flooded the west?
Christmas eve I got up and started my truck to take a call to fix a computer problem in a town 15 miles from were I lived. I had ended up in a small town in western North Dakota oil patch in 1980 for the Burroughs Corp. When I started the pickup a 1985 K10 manual everything it started fine the block heater had keep it warm all night. I knew it was cold how cold well. When I let out the clutch nothing happen, I push the clutch back in and check everything and all was right so I let the clutch out and was more aggressive with the gas and the truck broke loose and ramble on. First thing I notice was the tires had flat spots. Something I knew and had expectance many time with conventual bias ply tire, But this truck had radial tire on it and radial don’t get flat spots. Well when I got to the bank an office I knew ask me do you know how cold it is outside I said no it cold but i don’t really know well it was -50 F. I have been in -40s more than once but -50 was new to me. I now live in Mesa AZ and I will take 120F over -50 F any day of the week.
