IronPatriotTN, I have got 12 on my WeatherChannel desktop icon this morning at 4:34 am. I went out to warm my car for a 50 mile drive to work in Tupelo. It is brutal, at least the wind has died down a little bit since yesterday.
Heat pump ran all night!
God Bless and stay safe,

For 2 1/2 years I lived in the Seminoe Mtns in Wyoming and on the Crow Indian Reservation outside of Hardin Montana. It was a shock to move out there from Mississippi.
I have seen it snow every month of the year in Wyoming. We also had a -35 degree day when the only thing on the mountain that would crank was an old VW bug and pushed it off to crank it.
It is a dry cold out west but when it is in the teens in the South, the humidity kind kicks it to a different level of "felt" cold.
Yesterday morning we had sleet/ice with 31 degrees, this morning it is a blustery 53 degrees with rain on the way.
I believe in climate change, 4 times a year.   winter - spring - summer - fall

OK - don't know how it will affect you but....

They are sending us 5 to 10 inches of rain and for above 7000 feet they are sending us 5 to 10 feet of new snow in the next 5 days (through Monday).

I assume you will lag a day or so in most areas.

I know that one... but we are more like 3 seasons - summer, winter and mud.  Fall and spring seem way too short and I think a lot of their time is taken by the other two seasons.

ScottA: Long term trends make up 'climate'. What's happening right now is just 'weather'. No one who believes in climate change has gone silent because of a cold snap, rest assured.
