  1.   Broken records • When people awoke on Jan. 31, 1982, the only way around for most of them was by foot, preferably in high and heavy boots as seen in this view of Lindell Boulevard looking east from Newstead Avenue. The forecast had been for only 4 inches, but the storm stalled over St. Louis and dumped 14 and more inches overnight Jan. 30-31. The official record was 13.9 inches at Lambert St. Louis International Airport, but the National Weather Service said most of St. Louis and southwest St. Louis County had 18 inches or more. Thirty years later, it’s possible the weather will again set a record: The National Weather Service forecasts a high today in the mid-to-upper 60s, and says a high of 68 this afternoon is possible. The current record was set in 1884: 67 degrees. (Photo by Bill Kesler / Post-Dispatch)
