There was a break, and then part 2 of this system with strong arctic winds developed in wrap-around circulation of the low-pressure system. Wind gusts of 30-40 mph ended up being about ten miles per hour less than forecast, but these winds together with the arctic air led to dangerous wind-chills of -25 to -35F.
