Mount Washington Records Coldest Wind Chill Ever

I’m confused. We’ve recorded real temperatures well under this -108 wind chill value. Are we saying this is the lowest recorded wind chill because we didn’t technically “record” the wind chill when we’ve measured those even lower real temperature values?

It’s the lowest ever recorded in the US, as this WaPo article makes clear: https://www.washingtonpost.com/weather/2023/02/04/northeast-...

Ah, thanks. The Times story seems to have missed that detail.

I think it's not only the lowest for the US but specifically for Mt Washington. At least, that's what I got from the title.
