It’s the kind of cold you’d normally only find inside the MAPCO beer cooler. On January 21, 1985, the Tuscaloosa Regional Airport recorded –1°F during a major Arctic outbreak, putting unprecedented strain on insulated underbritches across West Alabama. Maybe we’ve just grown accustomed to staying inside, wrapped in blankets, scrolling away the cold while history chuckles softly and reaches for another quilt.
