A powerful arctic blast swept into the U.S. Northeast on Friday, threatening to push temperatures to record lows in many spots, including New Hampshire’s Mount Washington, where the wind chill could drop to -110 degrees Fahrenheit ...
...
Boston and Worcester, the two largest cities in New England, were among the school districts to close on Friday as administrators worried about the risk of hypothermia and frostbite as children waited for buses or walked to school.
The bitter cold in the forecast forced a rare closing of a floating museum that presents a daily re-enactment of the 1773 Boston Tea Party, when a band of colonists disguised as Native Americans tossed crates of tea taxed by the king into the harbor. “It’s too cold for that, we’re closed,” a receptionist at the museum said on Friday.

In Mount Washington State Park, atop the Northeast’s highest peak, temperatures were expected to fall to a record low of -50 F (-46 C) later Friday, officials for the New Hampshire park service said. By comparison, air temperatures in Eureka, Canada’s northernmost Arctic weather station, were hovering at -41 F (-41 C) on Friday morning.

While the Northeast was hunkering down, Texas and ... the aftermath of a deadly winter ice storm that brought days of freezing rain, sleet and ice, causing massive power outages and dangerously icy roads.

We’re down to 14 now. Feels like -5. The low temperature supposed to be, last I looked, around -7.
I do have one more errand to run this afternoon then plan on getting back home where it’s nice and warm.
Which means they are misrepresenting the overall picture of Temperature in the NE. They are hand picking the tops of mountains or something like that.
Yes...’Speedy’. It’s a one-night stand. :-)
No kidding...where are THEIR ‘rolling blackouts’, like we had down south at Christmas???
-7 this morning when I went to my doc appointment
Newsblast from the commie corrupt “news” media: RECORD COLD DUE TO GLOBAL WARMING!!!
Here in PA it’s supposed to drop to around 10 tonight, but the forecast for Sunday and 10 days beyond is pretty good, temps might even hit 60 next week! First half of February looks unusually mild. I have not needed snow crew yet this winter.
Did you have shoes? Yes? Lucky you!
It’s 3° F out right now and very windy.
The overnight low is supposed to be about -15°F.
However, we did get the freezer defrosted today. Just parked the stuff in coolers outside for a few hours while we did it and didn’t have to worry about anything warming up.
Yeah, the overnight low might be -17 instead of -15.
The geography funnels the winds through that area.
It is going to be (-10) tonight in southern NH. High of 15 above tomorrow and then 45 on Sunday. Highs in the forties all next week.
So, its going to be cold for two days. Big deal
Mt Washington is the highest peak in the northeast.
It is the second highest east of the Rockies after Mt Mansfield in NC.
So, the predominant winds blow out of the west or northwest. There is nothing as high from Montana for 2500 miles.
No gas stoves. No gas heat. no gas electricity. Shut down the pipelines. Enjoy.
