40th anniversary of record cold, frozen Ohio River in Cincinnati

CINCINNATI (WKRC) - What were you doing 40 years ago? Odds are good you were looking to stay warm if you were in the Tri-State. But maybe you were one of the ones that dared to walk across the frozen Ohio River on January, 18 in 1977. Cincinnati resident Mark Clark recalls, "What do you say about 25 degrees below zero unless you've been to Minnesota? It was cold. It was brutal. It was very bad, and we still had wind at that point, so the wind chill was terrible." Kathy Boutiere, another Cincinnati resident, said, "It was just unbelievable. There were so many people out on the ice, and it wasn't just flat ice. It was big chunks, so you really had to walk carefully." Weather records show two of the top 10 all-time coldest high temperatures (-1° and 0°) and three of the all-time coldest low temperatures (-25°, -24°, and -21°) were set between January 16th and 18th, 1977. Records also show the river was frozen over 8 days that month. "The hill coming down from Riverfront Stadium was all frozen, so people were sliding down the hill onto the ice. It was really different. It was like an ice amusement park or something," said Boutiere. Some were on the riverfront to have fun on the snow and ice, but others more timid to walk on something they had never seen before. Boutiere remembers, "It was creepy. It just didn't feel right. I shouldn't be out here. This isn't safe. This isn't really safe."
