episode_narrativeWind chill readings as cold as 80 below zero occurred as winds over 30 mph combined with actual temperatures of 10 below to 30 below zero. Many vehicles left outside failed to start; otherwise the main impact was financial with greatly increased heating energy use, and purchase of supplies and services to insure furnace operation and prevent carbon monoxide problems. Drifting snow occurred with the wind but had a relatively minor impact.
