The situation is worse than in 1934
According to the National Weather Service, the coldest air temperature ever recorded by Mount Washington was -45 degrees Fahrenheit back in 1934. According to the New York Post, staffers at the observatory have warned about other deadly conditions in the region. “I want to emphasize the danger of this cold,” wrote, Mount Washington weather observer Alexis George. “In these brutally cold conditions, the risk of hypothermia and frostbite will be exponential,” she added. “Even small mistakes can prove deadly, with a simple slip or fogged goggles leading to a potentially life-threatening situation. In this type of weather, rescue services will have a difficult time responding to any emergency effectively,” Alexis warned.
