Amidst record-breaking heat waves, this weather station keeps its cool
CNN
While regions of the United States endure yet another heat wave this week in an already record-breaking year for temperatures, one place stands out as a cool escape. And its employees have quite the shivering resume.
Jackie Bellefontaine rattles off her badges of honor. Coldest weather she's been in: 50 degrees F below zero. Fastest wind speed she's been hit with: 120 miles per hour (her body was immediately thrown and pinned against a wall). She's dodged flying ice chunks and skirted crevices in ice fields that threatened to swallow her whole. "I felt so alive being in that cold of a temperature," she told CNN during a video call, perking up her shoulders in excitement at the thought of subzero temperatures.More Related News
