Northern Tier Plummets to -38
The northern tier of the United States was frigid Monday morning, with a station in Minnesota plunging to -38 degrees. Temperatures in Pennsylvania fell to -10 while Long Island was in the single digits. Hundreds of thousands of school children got the day off and 10,000 AAA calls were recorded in Michigan alone (Forbes.com).
Some highlights:
Hallock, MN: -38
Davis, WV: -12
Coudersport, PA: -10
Locally here in Central Pennsylvania I observed -5 at one thermometer at my house and -3 on The New Car thermometer on the way here.
Other local readings:
The AccuWeather Weather Station: -2
My Weather Station: -2
University Park: -2 (RealFeel as low as -25)
Mount Washington [JessePedia] was only -24 but they had a wind of over 100 mph to make up for it, creating a wind chill of -77.
The core of the cold air had not made its way as far south as North Carolina, where Mount Mitchell reported -2 and Grandfather Mountain said 2 above this morning.
With apologies for mixing Fahrenheit and Celcius maps, here are some of the incredible wind chills we'll encounter this morning:
