The Capital Region came close to breaking record cold temperatures Saturday. The low temperature was 18 degrees Fahrenheit at 7:21 a.m., but the record cold temperature for Nov. 11 was 15 degrees F in 1956, according to the National Weather Service at Albany.

“The reason we didn’t get that cold is because the winds stayed breezy, so the temperature didn’t fall as rapidly as it would have otherwise,” said Christina Speciale, meteorologist at the NWS at Albany.
