Starting on Thursday, the bitter blast of cold air will surge south and east. That will send temperatures tumbling from the southern Plains to the Southeast and Midwest.
Morning low temperatures in the teens and single digits are likely as far south as Oklahoma, Arkansas and Tennessee, according to the FOX Forecast Center, while temperatures will remain in the teens from central Texas to Georgia.
In fact, this may be the coldest air in at least five years in Mississippi.
And the cold air is expected to remain in these areas, with a high probability that below average temperatures will persist over much of the country's eastern half into next week.
We've had 3 winters in the past 12 years with Temps in the -20 to -40 ranges for 1-2 weeks. You could make your own snow with a bowl of hot water thrown into the air. We moved in such weather in February 2019, it was awful. The wind, the cold. But somehow we got it done. Otherwise our Temps are generally not too bad, single.digits are common, windchill can make life miserable. (Northern IN)
I made frozen bubbles for the grandkids a few winters ago. Temps have to be below zero for it to work.
Ah yes. Those are fun too. Hope you stay warm and have a blessed Christmas. We heat with wood, so will be nice and toasty, no matter the weather.
