NORTH DAKOTA TO MAINE DEALING WITH SUB-ZERO WIND CHILL

Source: AP

BY PHILIP MARCELO AND DENISE LAVOIE

BOSTON (AP) -- Frigid temperatures descended on the northern tier of the country Tuesday, and while it's not the coldest weather of the season, the biting chill followed a powerful storm that dumped snow from the upper Midwest to the Northeast.

According to the National Weather Service, people from North Dakota to New England are dealing with sub-zero wind chill temperatures.

Temperatures plunged to near minus 30 in upstate New York early Tuesday, a day after a storm dumped more than a foot of snow from Buffalo to the Hudson Valley. The National Weather Service said the coldest spot in the country was Glens Falls, 45 miles north of Albany, at minus 27. It also plunged to 21 below zero in Watertown, near Lake Ontario's eastern end.

The arctic blast is also bringing minus 20 degree wind chills to parts of Pennsylvania and New England.
