Temps drop to record low Saturday morning

Despite a warmer than average autumn so far, temperatures dropped to a recordlow Saturday morning at Pittsburgh InternationalAirport. The temperature, 17 degrees at 5:27 a.m.,beat a record low of 21 degreesset in 1913 and 1973.

The cold snap was caused by a cold front, coupled with a strong area of high pressure to the west, said John Darnley, a meteorologist with the National WeatherService.

Temperatures in DuBois of 9 degrees and Wheeling of 17 degrees also beat or tied records.

“We call this a transition period,” Mr. Darnley said. “It’s pretty normal to have these wild swings of high and low temperatures.”

Temperatures for the next few days will be close to normal for November, with highs in the upper 40s andlows in the low 30s.

After many failures, she came up with a unique recipe that tantalized not only her taste buds, but those of everyone who tried it.

Kiki’s Flustered Mustard wasborn.

Ms. Langan, 39, of Scranton never envisioned she would become a player in the packagedfood industry.

A one-woman show, she initially produced about 120 jars of mustard a month, which she created in a home kitchen and sold on her website, at craft fairs and at a few businesses in the Scranton area.

The mustard quickly turned into a must-have, outpacing her ability to keep up with demand. That led her to partner this year with a copacking company in New York, which mass produced the product.

The company created 600 jars of mustard in its first run. It sold out of most locations within two months, Ms. Langan said.

The price varies by location, but it generally runs $8.50 to about $9 a jar.

Ms. Langan said she just partnered with a new copacker in Pennsylvania. She plans to do another run of about 1,000 jars,
