From almost spring-like mildness yesterday along the Eastern Seaboard… Upper 40s NYC, 55 Cape Cod and Atlantic City, 56 DC, 50 Philly…
To wind, rain, sleet, freezing rain and snow!
Then a speedy 40-50 degree drop in temperature, most of which came within 12 hours.
The 24 hour temperature change, valid at 4 a.m. CST, shows impressive warming (20-25F) across the northern Plains and significant cooling (40-50F) across portions of the Mid-Atlantic States. pic.twitter.com/qNc3o7TppH

As you’d expect, air and wind chill was worst over the interior NE!
You couldn’t escape the cold beneath the streets of NYC either.

Upstate NY, Vermont and New Hampshire was worst with 0 to -15 air and -20 to -40 wind chill.
Brrr! It's getting #chilly up on the Rockpile! Dipped below -30F last hour and hit -31F this hour with winds sustained over #hurricane #force so wind chills are hovering around -80F https://t.co/248AyTN0zt pic.twitter.com/whKygzfEp1
