Mt. Washington Was Second Coldest Place On Earth During 'Bomb Cyclone'

 Newly-released videos give a glimpse into the dramatic and severe weather recorded at the peak of New Hampshire's Mount Washington over the past two days when the location was said to be the second-coldest place on Earth.

The videos from the Mount Washington Observatory were taken over Saturday and Sunday (January 6 & 7) when the observatory recorded wind-chill temperatures as low as minus 39 degrees Fahrenheit (-39 Celsius).

The observatory said in a tweet that Saturday's temperature of -36 Fahrenheit (-38 Celsius) tied it as the second-coldest place on Earth that day.

Regional news organizations pointed out that the surface temperature of the red planet would feel warmer by comparison, citing data from the Mars Curiosity rover.

One of the observatory videos had a caption that said it was taken during peak gusts of 109 miles an hour, or 175 kilometers.

The bitter cold that has gripped much of the United States since the new year will last another day, forecasters said on Sunday, predicting an end to a frigid spell that featured a "bomb cyclone" snowstorm and frozen iguanas falling from trees in Florida.
