About: 1994 North American cold wave

The 1994 North American cold wave occurred over the midwestern and 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 West experienced mild temperatures. While 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.
