>I have recieved some info and stats from Meteorologist and friend Jesse Ferrell regarding the cold morning in the Southeast.

I personally would bring […]

Stunningly it was 80 degrees two days before.-Mark images source: http://arctic.atmos.uiuc.edu/cryosphere/IMAGES/arctic.4.jpg info from AccuWeather.
