Marsha Walker recalls when Columbia was the weather news

Marsha Walker writes:
In January of 1963, I was at Eastern KY State College in Richmond. Our dorm mother came around one morning to announce we could wear pants to class. This was so exciting! Later that day a weather report said that the temperature in Columbia, KY had reached -30 degrees the night before, the lowest temperature in the nation. Getting to class and back was misery, and I had to do it three times with no gloves. That was a very memorable day. --Marsha Walker
