A day I remember well. We went to the beach and the sea water was like a frozen margarita out to about 100 yards.
Much colder than what’s being reported here.
And wind chill means nothing unless you’re exposed.
...1980... It was the coldest Christmas Day of modern record in the northeastern U.S. Temperatures as cold as 36 degrees below zero were reported in New York State, and as the sharp cold front swept southeastward the temperature at Boston MA plunged from 34 degrees to seven degrees below zero during the day. Newport, Rhode Island recorded a low of 4 degrees below zero, breaking the record of 6 degrees, set in 1975 and the wind chill got down to 11 degrees below zero, breaking that record of 14 degrees below zero from 1968.
I kept myself warm with lots of egg nog and Kahlua.
