I don't think I've ever seen negative temps in Alabama or Mississippi ever. Seen single digits several times recently and I don't like it. Stuff starts to freeze and bust.
It got down to -5 a few days between Christmas and New year up in NA in 82 and almost as cold again in '85 . The record low for the state is -27 and was recorded in New Market Jan 30, 1966, Russellville recorded -24 the same day! Brrrrrrrrrr.
I remember those except the 66 event
Parents had pics of that and a few years earlier
Way back when there as a pic of my grandparents and their car on on a frozen creek or river. Was told it was Pickwick burned imagine it wa she back water somewhere if on the river
There were other pics with groups of people and cars in the ice.
Wished I knew where those pics were
