| Episode narrativeepisode_narrative | An extremely cold airmass moved out of Siberia, then plunged southward through Canada and across the northeast by January 15. At the same time, a powerful storm developed off the Canadian Maritimes. The pressure gradient between the intense storm and the arctic high pressure, extending from central Canada southward through the Ohio Valley, produced gusty north to northwest winds in the 15 to 30 mph range, with higher gusts. This wind, combined with ambient temperatures ranging from zero to 15 below zero, resulted in dangerous wind chills across eastern New York during the night of January 15 through the morning of the 16th. Equivalent wind chill readings ranged from 25 to 30 below zero in the Mid Hudson Valley, to as low as 50 below zero across the Western Adirondacks. The brutal cold spell resulted in many closed schools and businesses on the 16th. The cold also resulted in a scattering of frozen and broken water pipes. |
