[CaptinCrunch]

Jan. 15, 2004 — With an arctic airmass spreading over much of the northeastern U.S., the NOAA National Weather Service reminds residents in those affected areas to keep an eye on the wind chill, as well as the outside temperatures.

At 9:00 a.m. EST, the wind chill ranged from minus 7 in Central Park, N.Y., (actual temperature of 10 degrees F) to minus 76 at Mt. Washington, N.H., (actual temperature of minus 11). Boston, Mass., was shivering with a minus 17 wind chill, Albany, N.Y., at minus 27, and Bangor, Maine., at minus 31.
