Starting Friday, the storm—called Fern by some—intensifies with 1-3 inches of ice in the South like Arkansas, Tennessee and Kentucky, 6-12 inches of snow in the Appalachians and Midwest, plus sleet everywhere. An arctic blast follows Sunday, dropping temps below zero in the Plains and Midwest with wind chills to -30°F, even chilling Florida enough for school closures. Panic buying empties Walmart shelves in places like Kentucky, natural gas prices surge 75%, and officials urge stocking supplies, dripping faucets and avoiding travel to brace for outages and exploding trees from extreme cold.
Stay safe and indoors if possible!
LOL!
I hear ya...I think you might have meant Fort Dix, NJ not NY...but I heard what you meant.
I was in Georgia one year - actually passing through to NOLA/Slidell and there was black ice on the road. Oh boy...like crash up derby on I75/I20 - "What should we do? FLOOR IT!!!?? HERE WE GO!!!" 😁
First time in NOLA I was like 20, went to the Quarter and was walking around...garage door opened up..."Yall want a Hurricane?" I was like pfft okay! Well that set me on my ass good...It was probably like a 40oz jungle juice and everclear mix...I think I drove home with one hand over one eye to stop the double vision lol
