New Hampshire Just Recorded the Coldest-Ever U.S.
Temperature—Could You Survive It?

Last weekend, scientists recorded the coldest-ever
temperature in the U.S. during extreme weather in New
Hampshire.
The Mount Washington Observatory in New Hampshire is no
stranger to some of the most extreme weather conditions
in the nation. And overnight on Feb. 3, scientists
crewing the legendary weather station were afforded
front-row seats as they braved the elements and
recorded what is likely the coldest temperature ever
felt in the U.S.
Instruments picked up a new record-low wind chill
temperature of minus 108, shattering the previously
recorded lowest temperature on the famously frigid
summit of minus 102.7 degrees set in 2004, The
Washington Post reports. Scientists at the station said
that sustained winds at the time were nearly 100 miles
per hour, with gusts up to 127 miles per hour.
The NWS also took note of the conditions leading up to
the record drop, tweeting on Friday evening: "Right now
Mount Washington is living up to the reputation of
having the worst weather in the world." But even those
who counted themselves lucky to take part in the
historic event admitted it wasn't exactly a comfortable
experience.
"The winds were so strong that I fell over at least
once that night. I was thankful that I was able to make
it back to the observatory," Alexis George,
meteorologist and weather observer for Mount Washington
Observatory, told CNN. "It's not something you get used
to very easily because it's a very loud experience. It
almost sounds like a freight train."

I think the temperature was minus 47 degrees. I'd probably freeze as my L.L.Bean jacket
is only good for minus 25 degrees. though i might last a bit with my
head to toe polar tech thermals and other heavy wear I have for underneath.
use to wear them on first mid winter motorcycle ride of the year get out.
but high winds would blow the heat off you. a full motorcycle rain bodysuit might
keep the winds at bay for a short while.
