wind chill in North Caroline/Grandfathers Mountain tops even Minn or Vermont
Crusty:
In Africa, it snows on Mt. Kilimanjaro (Hey! That would make a catchy title for a book!) which isn't very far south of the equator.

Tonight is a good example. At 10 PM is is -10F @ 55-80 MPH gusts making it -50F wind chill. Just as cold as anywhere in the upper midwest or Maine/Vermont.

I would never have guessed that temps dropped to 10F below 0 at Grandfather Mountain! I would think that Mt. Mitchell would be colder than Grandfather too since it has a higher elevation than Grandfather.
I just checked weather.com for Linville (close to Grandfather) and it shows 0 degrees F at 7 AM. So, yes, maybe -10 on the mountain. I bet Mitchell is similar.

Took a few cycles of glow plug warming to start my diesel Jetta this morning. -11 with a near -40 wind chill. Brrrr...
I always find myself looking at new bikes and planning trips this time of year! :D

Only 56 MPH on Mt Washington? Bah. It's usually 120 on days like this, often with freezing fog.

14 here with a wind chill of 6. Lot of places are closed and the emergency shelters are open. Wasn't like this before all them "Yankees" moved down here. ::( :BEER:
