It was, as expected, a truly bone-chilling morning from Ontario to Washington DC. In fact it was colder than expected for some spots including a -32 in Chandlers Valley, PA (according to NWS of Stat College) and -30 at Smethport NW PA.

It was not just the coldest of winter but the coldest in some 10 even 20+ years. New York City’s 3 and Boston’s -3 was the lowest since Jan 2004 while Philadelphia’s reading of 3 was in fact the coldest since 1994.

-18 at Erie, PA tied an all-time record. -13 in Youngstown and -12 Cleveland (both Ohio) were record lows.

As you’d expect, there were records north of the border too.
