Love these Chicago time capsules!

I've been binging this channel for DAYS now! Although I'm from FL, This is the year of my very first Christmas, I was born that July. Thank you for giving me a window to the world of my past!

this is when winter weather was truly christmasy!

Yesterday in my Maryland neck of the woods it hit 60, and today it's supposed to be 59 with showers. Not complaining, but it feels more like Christmas when it's cold and snowy.

wow Alan K was a weatherman!

Best weather report Ever! I was living in LA in 1983, had to work that Christmas. I called my folks in the morning. Both mentioned how bitterly cold it was (was in the 60's, sunny in LA) but didn't mention how REALLY bitterly cold it was. I remember a couple of cold Christmases (and other times) in Chicago, but '83 really outdid itself! The special interest stories in these old news broadcasts really bring back what it was like to grow up in the city. Thank you!

@HuYoaDaddy yup. I remember. On Christmas Day 1983 down here in Tulsa we had a low of -2°F, a high of 12°F, and a mean of 5°F, setting a record low, record low high, and record low mean all in the same day. Coldest Christmas on record by 7°. Christmas Eve was even colder, only 5°F for a high, which is still the coldest daily maximum for any December.

I definitely remember this. Merry Christmas!

"Yesterday when I was young" Love these fuzzy mems. Merry Xmas!

This was one month before I was born. What an excellent time to arrive in the early-to-mid 80s! Also, WOW on that weather forecast!

It's 57 degrees warmer this Christmas!

Happy to put you on our end-of-year donations! Thanks for all the fuzzy memories! Better than a prozac-gin cocktail!

“ I survived the Blizzard of ‘77 “ was a popular T-shirt where I grew up . This is great.

That was a very cold Christmas in Chicago. I was a freshman in high school. One of my gifts that year was a left handed catcher’s mit.

I wonder how Alan Krashesky ended up doing the weather. I don’t ever remember him doing that

I don’t either! I was a year and 6 months old at this point. It’s weird seeing this cause I think Alan K. Just retired. (He retires today-November 22, 2022) I don’t live in Chicago anymore, unfortunately I moved to Dallas, Texas from Chicago in September 1994, so I enjoy seeing these videos from back home 🏡

14:12 - ColecoVision Vs. Atari 5200 during the Video Game Crash of 1983.

I well remember the historic December 1983 Coldwave. It is the coldest December on record for us in Tulsa, and it's the coldest month on record of any name for any year since records have been kept in 1888 in Tulsa. I was in 7th grade then. We had 21 marks on the record book for record cold (a lot for a 4-year span let alone a month; 10 of these were matched in the historic December 1989 Coldwave) It was so cold for so long that in early January 1984, we had freezing rain on road surfaces even though the air temperature was above freezing. Because the soil substrate was frozen.

It was -25 on Christmas Eve in 1983 for the low temperature. Still the record for Chicago on that date. Brrrrr

i was in grad school in ny that winter....uccch love the commercials....atari vs coleco....heh and look at the 84 reagan economy

I still remember how cold it was in Columbus, OH that Christmas. I can still remember how cold it was inside my grandmother’s car when we piled in it to go to my aunt’s house. I realized the year before that I just wore a light winter jacket, and where in the world did this cold come from 😆

Yeah they won 99 games that year and my dad and I ran out on the field when they clinched against the Mariners (I think). Then Cal Ripken killed us.

That was in 7th grade back then in Omaha Nebraska. But I definitely remember Christmas of 83 very well it was freezing cold out there! So cold that you couldn't even scoop the snow.

I heard many Chicago Weather Reporters call this Blizzard the BONE CHILLER. Keep in mind they also went through another Blizzard in February 10 11 and twelve. In some ways this is not typical Two Winter storms in one year.

That wasn't a Blizzard, just record cold. I remember going to party at the Bismarck hotel, that night. I was 18 years old and underdressed. I didn't care , it was the party of the year.

Krashesky did weather? I had no idea.

Where's Jenny Milkowski when you really need her? ;)

Look at the mop on that guy at 10:34 😂😂😂

14:46 in case your wondering she’s talking about the arms race during the Cold War, I remember Ann Druyan opening cosmos with a speech on it, since Carl Sagan himself was outspoken against the situation

What happened to al Piemonte guy during those commercials.

Not this man in the Solo commercial who didn't know how to do his own laundry

Looks like a young Greg Kinnear at 8:35 in the Duncan Heinz commercial. Never thought of him as a bull rider lol

5:38 The polar vortex..

Commercial at 1:27 was filmed at the (then) under-construction Thompson Center.

Tim Ryan, who did the (voiceover about the) stranded airline passengers trying to fly to Hawaii, sounds so familiar for some reason. Was it the same Tim Ryan that worked for CBS Sports, especially during the network's 1992 and 1994 Winter Olympics? And is it the same person who also called New York Islanders hockey games in the New York metropolitan area?

Jennings was in his prime and keep getting better and better throughout the late-80s and 90s.

Personally, if I ran a TV station, I'd close the news department on Christmas Day so that the entire news and program production staffs could get the day off. However, I'd have a small number of news and program production employees "on call" on Christmas Day, who would be called in if a major unexpected local news story broke.
