New Englanders are accustomed to cold weather, snow and ice, but Friday night's combination of extreme cold and powerful winds is enough to make even bundled-up skiers shelter indoors. Winter misery is making its way into New England with a potentially deadly mix. Forecasters are predicting “once-in-a-generation” wind chills, as low as minus 50 Fahrenheit. Donald Dumont from the National Weather Service said a blast of Arctic air is arriving just as a low pressure system rapidly intensifies over Labrador and Newfoundland. The result is powerful winds, reaching more than 100 mph atop Mount Washington.

U.S. restrictions against China's computer chips industry are meanwhile slowing progress in developing advanced chips and other leading technologies.
