1994 North American Cold Wave
The 1994 North American cold wave occurred over the midwestern and Eastern United States, eastern regions of the United States and southern Canada in January 1994, which caused over 100 deaths in the United States alone. Two notable cold air events took place from January 18–19 and January 21–22. There were 67 minimum temperature records set on January 19. Indiana and Kentucky both set state records on January 19. During this time, the United States experienced its coldest temperatures since February 1934, although much of the Western United States, West experienced mild temperatures. While Washington (state), Washington and Idaho experienced the second-warmest January recorded in the previous 100 years, the eastern United States experienced a major snowfall, which significantly delayed traffic. Meteorological synopsis Cold air outbreaks are characterized by strong upper-level Trough (meteorology), troughs in the atmosphere, with Ridge (meteorology), ridges usually locate ...

Cold Wave
A cold wave (known in some regions as a cold snap, cold spell or Arctic Snap) is a weather phenomenon that is distinguished by a cooling of the air. Specifically, as used by the U.S. National Weather Service, a cold wave is a rapid fall in temperature within a 24-hour period requiring substantially increased protection to agriculture, industry, commerce, and social activities. The precise criteria for a cold wave are the rate at which the temperature falls, and the minimum to which it falls. This minimum temperature is dependent on the geographical region and time of year. In the United States, a ''cold spell'' is defined as the national average high temperature dropping below . A cold wave of sufficient magnitude and duration may be classified as a cold air outbreak (CAO). Effects A cold wave can cause death and injury to livestock and wildlife. Exposure to cold mandates greater caloric intake for all animals, including humans, and if a cold wave is accompanied by heavy and p ...

Maximum And Minimum Temperature Map January 19, 1994
In mathematical analysis, the maxima and minima (the respective plurals of maximum and minimum) of a function, known collectively as extrema (the plural of extremum), are the largest and smallest value of the function, either within a given range (the ''local'' or ''relative'' extrema), or on the entire domain (the ''global'' or ''absolute'' extrema). Pierre de Fermat was one of the first mathematicians to propose a general technique, adequality, for finding the maxima and minima of functions. As defined in set theory, the maximum and minimum of a set are the greatest and least elements in the set, respectively. Unbounded infinite sets, such as the set of real numbers, have no minimum or maximum. Definition A real-valued function ''f'' defined on a domain ''X'' has a global (or absolute) maximum point at ''x''∗, if for all ''x'' in ''X''. Similarly, the function has a global (or absolute) minimum point at ''x''∗, if for all ''x'' in ''X''. The value of the function at a m ...
