Not really.
Check the data at [0] 04-Feb-2023 03:49h. Temperature is -47°F and wind is 89mph sustained, wind chill is -108°F. Gusts earlier and later were well over 100mph.
The tropopause actually dipped down below the summit, so these were actual stratospheric conditions.
Sure, there's wind, and there's cold, but not usually in these combinations. Fun times (if you've got the shelter and gear).
