3 In Tennessee, Other Frigid Temps in the East
Record low temperatures were tied or set across the Southeast today (and it wasn't that warm up here in the Northeast either!) Fox News reports on-air that the following records were set:
Bristol, NT: 17* Charlotte, NC: 18 Augusta, GA: 22 Montgomery, AL: 23 Tallahassee, FL: 29
*Tie
Frank Strait's Blog (PREMIUM | PRO) has a more comprehensive list of Southeast Records.
I also see that Grandfather Mountain, NC hit 9 degrees this morning, while Mount Mitchell dipped to 5.5 above zero, or actually 4 according to this NWS report. Mount Leconte in Tennessee was the winner though, with only 3 degrees.
In the Northeast, Saranac Lake, NY (a typical ice box) dipped to 1 degree, we had 8 at Bradford, just up the road from State College, Pennsylvania, home of AccuWeather HQ [Google Map], and I had 13 degrees at my house. Mount Washington, NH (another typically cold location) was well below zero, and is struggling to get above 0 as we speak.
