ORIGINAL POST 2/14: It was the coldest Valentine's Day morning ever at many locations in the Northeast. Here's a look at temperatures and a list of daily record lows broken:
Mount Washington, NH: -40 F Albany, NY: -13 F Boston: -9 F New York City: -1 F
The cold, by itself, was impressive for mid-February, but high winds also plagued the Northeast U.S. and southeastern Canada. AccuWeather RealFeel temperatures dipped to -91 degrees F at Mt. Washington, NH; both Quebec and Worcester, Mass. reported -51. Wind chill temperatures plunged to -78 at Mount Washington, NH, with -45 at Quebec and -44 at Worcester, Mass. Graphs of several particularly cold stations are shown below.
The lowest temperature reported in Pennsylvania was -16 F in Kane, PA. My station here in State College read -2 to -3 degrees.
