Frozen in Mississippi


Well, the weather has been super lousy these past several days here in the "sunny" South.  We've had very usually frigid temperatures since Saturday night that has been coupled with freezing rain and then sleet mixed with snow on Monday.  Everything is frozen!  Even parts of the Interstate system are closed because the trucks can't gain traction on certain slopes are are blocking all the lanes.  Here are some views from my front window of my neighborhood in south Jackson.  I know we haven't been as affected as other parts of the US but this sort of weather is very rare this far south.

Sunday, Feb. 14, mid-afternoon

Looks like the wintery precipitation is finally stopping but the temperatures will continue to fall through the 20s (F) into the teens as the day progresses.  The wind chill will run into the single digits above zero overnight and into tomorrow.  Supposedly we will be below freezing (32 F) until sometime on Wednesday.
