![]() ![]() The wind chills forecast for Maine and beyond for late Friday and early Saturday can cause frostbite on exposed skin in just 10 minutes. Wind chill, a figure that represents the feels-like temp, reached the triple-digit mark at the nonprofit observatory on the mountaintop at 5:09 p.m., as wind gusts topped 100 mph.Ī National Weather Service chart showing probable wind chills for Mount Washington didn’t include the expected minus 107, because the number was “off our official wind chill chart,” it said - there was no room for such an extreme number. The baby’s gender and age were not immediately available. The 23-year-old mother of the infant sustained serious injuries. In Southwick, Massachusetts, just outside Springfield, a storm was blamed in the death of an infant who was killed when winds knocked down a tree that fell and struck the vehicle the baby was in. And a large swath of the nation, from the Great Lakes to the East Coast, and from the Mid-Atlantic to the U.S.-Canada border is facing extreme weather, too, as blizzards, snow squalls and hurricane-force winds were reported. Much of New England is dealing with a dangerous blast of winter. If there was any doubt about just how brutal Friday's conditions were in New England, look no further than New Hampshire's Mount Washington Observatory, where a wind chill of minus 101 degrees Fahrenheit was recorded.Īnd it's hardly an isolated case.
