And conditions are not expected to change much in the next few days as cold front No. 23, extending from a low-pressure system in Vancouver, Canada, reaches as far as the southern coast of Veracruz.
The weather was particularly hard on a family of migrants from Honduras who were traveling on Monday through Nogales, Sonora, where temperatures have been dropping to -3 or lower.
The state of Hidalgo enjoys the distinction of having recorded the lowest temperatures so far this season, As far as AgustÃn can remember, it has never been so cold.
His memory serves him well, judging by a pronouncement on the weather by national Civil Protection director Ricardo de la Cruz Musalem. He said the cold front is one of the most severe ever recorded.
It has particularly affected the north and center of the country.
Temperatures dropped to as low as -6 last night in Saltillo, Coahuila, covering streets with a thin sheet of ice. When one driver lost control of his vehicle a major pileup of 43 vehicles followed, including cars, trucks, a police car and a bus.
Four people were injured, but none seriously. Damages were estimated in the multi millions of pesos.
Poor conditions were responsible for another accident in Monterrey, Nuevo León, involving 28 vehicles. Two people were injured.
Heavy fog closed the Saltillo-Monterrey freeway yesterday afternoon after a an accident involving three trucks left as many people injured. The highway was reopened this morning to traffic in both directions.
Today, the coldest place in the country was La Rosilla, in GuanacevÃ, Durango, where the mercury plunged to -11, the National Meteorological Service said.
Nineteen states were reporting temperatures below 0.
Other cold spots were El Vergel in Balleza, Chihuahua, with -8, and Tres Barrancas in Ramos Arizpe, Coahuila, where it was -7.
