The polar vortex that moved in yesterday has been nothing short of impressive. Records were broken at the\u00a0Mount Washington Observatory<\/a>\u00a0(MWObs) in New Hampshire’s White Mountains.<\/p>\n

At 6,288 feet, MWObs is located at the highest peak in the Northeast and has some of the most wicked weather in the world.<\/p>\n

The lowest-ever wind chill was recorded early Saturday morning near -109 degrees Fahrenheit, surpassing the previous record of -103 degrees. At the same time, temperatures were around -47 degrees.<\/p>\n

“There is half of me that loves what is going on right now, and the other half of me is pretty terrifying,” meteorologist Francis Tarasiewicz, stationed at MWObs, told\u00a0<\/em>NBC 10 Boston<\/em><\/a>.\u00a0<\/em><\/p>\n
