A dangerous combination of record-setting cold temperatures and powerful winds buffeted the northeastern United States and Canada over the weekend, creating life-threatening conditions and wind-chills from the Arctic blast.
New Hampshire’s Mount Washington overnight on Saturday recorded a wind-chill – a measure of how the combined effect of air and wind feels to the skin – of minus 78 Celsius (-108 degrees Fahrenheit), which appeared to be the lowest ever in the United States.
The air temperature at the peak reached -44C (-47F) with winds gusting near 160 kilometres per hour (100 miles per hour), according to the Mount Washington Observatory.
