Canada's easternmost provinces battened down last night as forecasters predicted snow with winds of up to 75 miles an hour.

Moving east I "i i fX i I Ready for '63 Eas Coldest night of year By Jack Macbeth Citizen staff wnler Arctic temperatures and wild winds are bringing the old year to a bone-chilling close today in the Ottawa area.

Readings in the district varied between 18 and 32 below zero. winds Shortly before daylight this morning, paralyzing gusts of 50 miles an hour swept down from the Arctic to put the entire Ottawa Valley in a deep freeze. Combined with a temperature at that point of 8 degrees below zero, this produced a "wind chill factor" equal to 60 below with no wind. "Without the slightest doubt," said the duty forecaster, "this was the bitterest night we've had all year. The temperature only went down to 15 below but the wind made all the difference." The wind chill factor measures in temperature alone the effect that both wind and temperature would have on any exposed part of the human body.

The cold snap is expected to continue well into the New Year, but the weatherman said thai the wind should begin to slacken later today. Temperatures are likely to remain close to their present level for the next two or three days. The wintry blast was held responsible for a number of fires the Ottawa area as every available heating unit was put into use and firemen, especially, felt its brutal bite. One Ottawa fireman, Garry Wallace, suffered frostbitten checks but was released after treatment at hospital. A numher of other city firemen also suffered varying degrees of frostbite.

Skiing curtailed The high wind-low temperature combination put a sever crimp in skiing operations in the Ottawa Hull area. A spokesman at Camp Fortune said: "This is pretty sad. We've never seen conditions any worse. The hills have been all but swept clear and, at best, only a hard-packed surface remains."
