| Episode narrativeepisode_narrative | A major winter storm brought 4 to 10 inches of new snow, with 20 to 40 mph winds which caused blowing and drifting snow and dangerous wind chills. Visibilities were reduced to less than 1/2 mile at times. Actual temperatures dropped to as low as 20 below zero with wind chills as cold as 55 below zero. Travel became difficult and hazardous, and was greatly curtailed. Otherwise major problems were few on the holiday weekend, as most people heeded warnings and did not travel during the storm. |
