The life-threatening cold snap began to subside across the northeastern United States on Saturday after a new national record for wind chill was broken in New Hampshire.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The record was set in Mount Washington this Friday night, when the wind chill was -108 degrees Fahrenheit (-42 \u00b0C) thanks to a temperature of -46 degrees Fahrenheit (-8 \u00b0C) and wind gusts of 127 mph. (200km\/h).<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Historically, wind chill records aren’t tracked as closely as temperature records, but the mark would surpass what most meteorologists believe is the US record: minus 105 degrees Fahrenheit in Alaska (about -76\u00b0 C). The previous record for Mount Washington was minus 102.7 degrees Fahrenheit (-74 \u00b0C) in 2004.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
More than 15 million people were under wind chill alerts Saturday as the extreme cold began to subside. The vast majority of the remaining wind chill alerts ended around noon.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
By Saturday afternoon, fewer than a million people remained under wind chill advisories. Most of the remaining wind chill watches will end at 7:00 PM ET tonight as temperatures begin to stabilize and winds ease. Temperatures will pick up considerably, reaching 5 to 10 degrees above normal this Sunday.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Several daily records for low temperatures were set in parts of the Northeast this morning, according to local offices of the National Weather Service.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Boston hit a morning low of minus 10 degrees Fahrenheit (-23 \u00b0C) on Saturday morning, breaking its previous daily record of minus 2 degrees Fahrenheit (-18 \u00b0C). The weather service also tweeted that it is the first double-digit negative temperature on record since 1957.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
