The incoming artic front brings"extreme and prolonged freezing conditions for southern Mississippi and southeast Louisiana," the National Weather Service in aBy Thursday night, temperatures will plunge as low as 13 degrees in Jackson, Mississippi; and around 5 degrees in Nashville, Tennessee, the National Weather Service predicts.
Ice fishing will continue through the cold blast, since the temperatures won’t scare away anglers there — “not the hard-core ones anyway,” said Jason Mundel, who runs the Ripp’n Lipps Guide Service in northeastern Montana. Freezing temperatures can take lives in an instant — a heartbreaking reality that Atlanta homeless advocate George Chidi knows firsthand.
“A main factor isn’t the temperature itself,” Chidi said. “It’s the speed with which the temperature drops.” In the Northeast, utility companies brought in extra workers from other states but were hampered by slick roads and dangerous conditions.
