New York City's Central Park recorded a low of −2 ☏ (−19 ☌), breaking that date's record. Īs the cold air mass moved southeastward, it modified only slightly, resulting in frigid air for most of the East Coast of the United States starting on the morning of January 21, 1985. Virginia's official record low temperature of −30 ☏ (−34 ☌) was also set on this day in Pembroke, Virginia. Memphis, Tennessee recorded a low of −4 ☏ (−20 ☌), setting a record low for that day. Cleveland, Ohio fell to −18 ☏ (−28 ☌), which was at the time a record low.

Louis, Missouri saw a low of −18 ☏ (−28 ☌), and Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania had a low of −18 ☏ (−28 ☌), the coldest morning since 1899. In Chicago, Illinois, a record low of −27 ☏ (−33 ☌) combined with 25 miles per hour (40 km/h) winds, to produce a wind chill of −60 ☏ (−51 ☌). The Arctic air mass started moving into the United States on the evening of January 19 and into the morning of January 20, 1985. Unlike with cold-air systems, a pattern of self-modification did not immediately occur, and seasonable temperatures were absent for a number of days, a rarity in forecasting. in December, 1984, suggesting that there was a build-up of cold air that was suddenly released from the Arctic, a meteorological event known as a mobile polar high.įrom Sunday, Januuntil Tuesday, January 22, 1985, the polar vortex, coupled with a large ridge of high pressure, moved polar air into the United States as far south as Arizona, Texas, and northern Florida. This was preceded by unusually warm weather in the eastern U.S. Blocked from its normal movement, polar air from the north pushed into nearly every section of the central and eastern half of the United States and Canada, shattering record low temperature records in a number of areas. The 1985 North America cold wave was a meteorological event which occurred in January, 1985, as a result of the shifting of the polar vortex farther south than is normally seen. In the original Japanese version, the yeti characters were seals.A map of the United States detailing the record-low temperatures for various cities on January 21, 1985
Grabbing its talons before time runs out gives the player a large bonus. At the top of the peak, the condor flies overhead. It is also the only place they can snag back their stolen vegetables, most notably eggplants. With a time limit of 40 seconds and no enemies, the Ice Climbers often face trickier jumps and multiple moving platforms. Finally, many mountains include cloud-shaped, moving platforms as an additional hurdle. The darker ice with diagonal lines act as a conveyor belt sliding the Eskimo either to the left or right. Ice blocks that appear more square and detailed are indestructible forcing the player to take another path. Standard, dull ice blocks pose no threat other than an easily disposed of barrier. Each mountain consists of eight levels of colorful ice and a bonus stage. The only tool a player has is a hammer to make openings on the ice layer above and to club enemies. Their challenge is to venture up an ice-covered mountain and recover their stolen vegetables from a giant condor. In the game, player 1 controls Popo (a boy dressed in a blue Eskimo parka) while player 2 controls Nana (a girl dressed in a pink Eskimo parka).
