Whew, that's cold! What is believed to be the lowest-ever-recorded wind chill – minus 108 F – was recently taken at the summit of Mount Washington, New Hampshire.
— what the temperature feels like — on the summit of Mount Washington, New Hampshire, dropped to minus 108 F.
That's likely the lowest wind chill ever recorded in the United States since meteorologists began calculating wind chills, said Brian Brettschneider, an Alaskan climate scientist. Reconstructing wind chill based on historic records at Mount Washington shows the wind chill also could have been at minus 108 F or below on Jan. 22, 1885. The low that day — which still stands as the record low— was minus 50 F and the 24-hour average wind speed was 89 mph, Brettschneider said. That combination would produce a wind chill below minus 108 F, he said.
Record daily lows were set in Boston, Massachusetts , Providence, Rhode Island, and Bridgeport, Connecticut , the weather service said.
