On Sunday, temperatures rose to the mid-40s Fahrenheit in several parts of the Northeastern United States, following a day in which the area experienced lows that fell into the negative teens and felt as cold as minus 45 to minus 50 degrees due to the wind chill.
On the 6,288-foot Mount Washington in New Hampshire, the temperature increased to a comfortably warm 18 degrees (8 Celsius) a day after it plummeted to minus 47 degrees Fahrenheit (minus 44 degrees Celsius), and the wind chill was over negative 108 degrees.
The intense cold and strong winds caused some unintended harm.

When a sprinkler pipe in the boiler room burst at around 5 p.m., the Impractical Jokers were forced to postpone two sold-out performances at Boston’s Boch Center Wang Theater.

The Impractical Jokers’ James “Murr” Murray issued Twitter apologies.
“To all of our Boston supporters, I apologize for tonight. In a brief video, he explained that the pipes in Boston ruptured five minutes before showtime at the night’s first performance, flooding the theater’s basement.
