US shivers amid record-breaking low temperatures
North America’s East Coast is shivering in a record-breaking freeze in the wake of a deadly “bomb cyclone” that dumped snow as far south as Florida.
In parts of US and Canada, temperatures were forecast to fall below -20F (-29C), with wind chill making it feel more like -90F (-67C) on Friday night.
In Canada, high winds have knocked out power for tens of thousands of residents in Nova Scotia.
Thousands of snow ploughs are clearing roads across the US East Coast.
The extreme weather has so far been linked to up to 19 deaths in the US and two more in Canada, according to reports.
Here we go
In Massachusetts, residents of Boston, which received over 1ft (30cm) of snowfall, were clearing the streets with shovels. Boston harbour’s tide gauge matched its record at 15.1ft – previously set during the great blizzard of 1978.
Flooding affected the city’s newly renovated seaport district and deluged a downtown subway station, and giant waves saw freezing floodwaters inundate parts of the New England coast.
Mayor Marty Walsh blamed climate change. “If anyone wants to question global warming, just see where the flood zones are,” he said.
That’s not how this works. That’s not how any of this works. And Warmists wonder why I call this a cult.
