Brutal cold grips Southeast and Midwest with record lows
From Florida to North Carolina and across the Midwest a polar outbreak sent temperatures plummeting. Florida reports snow and subfreezing conditions with Tallahassee at 10 above, while Gainesville and Jacksonville reach 15 and 20 degrees. Michigan sees heavy snow and near blizzard conditions, with Muskegon roads nearly impassable after a week of storms. Several deaths linked to the cold are reported, including Ed Dunlap and his family damaged by a kerosene heater fire. Unseasonably frigid air also pushes into Maryland and Pennsylvania with single‑digit readings and subzero peaks on Mt. Mitchell and Mt. Pisgah.
