It looks like record breaking temps for the south! currently, temps are lowering and in places such as Alabama, northern florida, louisiana and Mississippi will see them go down to as low at the teens and 20's. temps could possibly get even colder which will come close to the standing records temps in these areas. some locations could see drops as much as 30 to 40 degrees, and in North Carolina it got all the way to 14 degrees breaking the record low of 18 degrees which was set in 1979. Typical temperatures for the north were recorded as minus seven in minnesota this week. However, Florida has been monitoring crops because if the temps get below 28 degrees it could cause serious damage. there is also concern for residents worrying that they take proper precautions to stay warm and heat their homes correctly. homeless people were also looking for shelter due the sudden frosty temps.

This is quite a shocking story to hear, however i have many relatives who call up alot to chat. they usually ask about the weather and how cold its getting, but recently they have been talking about how chilly it is down there and my aunt was saying how there was snow accumulation at one point. this is very unusual and i am very glad i did not take a trip down there to escape the cold and realize i was still in it!
