Snow, wind and smiles: a look back at the snowiest Macy’s Thanksgiving Day Parade

With Thanksgiving just a week away, we’re looking back at one of the most unforgettable Macy’s Thanksgiving Day Parades in history — the 1989 snowstorm edition.

From Spider-Man to New Kids on the Block, FOX 5 archives revisit how New Yorkers — and visitors from around the country — braved the chill to keep the holiday spirit alive.
