December Coldest in 50 Years Hits Nation Hard

Record cold slowed holiday travel across the nation as the death toll from a week of severe weather rose to 123. Butte Montana recorded 52 below zero and Williston North Dakota 46 below. Snow, ice, power outages, and evacuations strained utilities and disrupted travel.

Weather slows holiday travel as deep freeze delays flights

Weather slows holiday travel as record lows slow planes buses and trains across the nation. In Bismarck a Northwest Airlines 727 with 136 passengers was delayed over two hours due to faulty auxiliary power gear though engines were fine. In Lincoln Nebraska the No 1 Nebraska football team faced a two hour delay en route to Miami for the Orange Bowl because a charter plane engine would not start in minus 10. Miami Beach reached 83 a record for the date. Officials at airports reported weather and load delays while coping with the busiest travel day of the season.
