SouthEast Winter Weather - Thursday, January 7, 2010

Thu, 7 Jan 2010 13:44:00 GMT

Good morning and Happy New Year! Most of you are rather chilly this morning! An arctic airmass has pushed into the US and current covers most of the central US.

Record lows are being set in the south and will most likely continue to be set all the way down into FL. Snow isn't out of the question for some Gulf Coast areas though, for the most part, by the ti...
