Fun Facts About Buffalo from 1984 -- The Bills, The Weather, The Movies

Western New York meteorologists just LOVE meteorological records. They brag about them, they rejoice in them, they tweet about them, they revel in them.

There's a chance we could meet (or beat) a record high temperature today, which is 84 degrees (the forecast is 82). The crazy thing is that the record was set in 1984...and coincidentally, there have been about a million 1984 references today. All by sheer coincidence!

In the Celebrity Fix, Madonna called the upcoming movie about her "lies" because they share a quote she claims she never made on American Bandstand (she DID in fact make this quote, which was "proven" by this YouTube clip). That interview happened in 1984.
Today's #1 Track Throwback was Wham! "Everything She Wants"...from 1984.
Earlier, one of our Mix 96 Classics was "Jump" from Van Halen's album "1984".

I thought I'd take a trip down memory lane with other fun facts about Buffalo from 1984...

I was almost 10 years old...Sixteen Candles, Ghostbusters, and Gremlins were all in theatres. It was a good time.

And, it was 84 degrees. :)
