A strong arctic blast swept into the U.S. Northeast, threatening what the U.S. National Weather Service called ‘life-endangering temperatures’ in many areas
By comparison, air temperatures in Eureka, Canada's northernmost Arctic weather station, were hovering at -41 F on Friday morning.
Record cold was expected in both cities on Saturday. Forecasts called for a low of -6 F in Boston, exceeding an 1886 record -2 for the date. Worcester was headed for a low of -11 on Saturday, which would break its previous 1934 record of -4 for the date.Despite the extreme cold, Nhon Ma, a Belgium native, was out on Friday with his Zinneken's food truck near Boston University selling Belgian waffles made from homemade dough, and keeping warm with three or four waffle irons going at once.
While the Northeast was hunkering down, Texas and parts of the South were starting to warm up in the aftermath of a deadly winter ice storm that brought days of freezing rain, sleet and ice, causing massive power outages and dangerously icy roads.
