Episode narrativeepisode_narrativeThe combination of being near the center of a high pressure system that helped produce light winds and a deep snowpack caused record or near record breaking low temperatures on the morning of the 14th from the Lehigh Valley northward. For many this was the coldest day of the meteorological winter season. The low of 4 degrees below zero in East Stroudsburg tied the record for the day. The low of 2 degrees below zero at the Lehigh Valley International Airport established a new record low for the day. Six people in Allentown (Lehigh County) were sickened by carbon monoxide emissions from their faulty heating unit. The cold weather caused an increase in demand for electricity and Pennsylvania Power and Light came within 100 megawatts (7,174) between 7 and 8 a.m. EST of tying their winter hourly megawatt usage record set in December 20, 2004.
