A winter storm has plunged a vast area of the Deep South below freezing, affecting millions.
Austin: So, this crazy winter storm has really hit the Deep South hard. Millions are feeling the chill as the storm moves along the Gulf Coast.
It’s not just about the snow; it’s a whole mess of icy conditions. Can you believe some places dropped below freezing? It’s wild!
On Tuesday, cities like Galveston and Lake Charles saw temperatures plummet. Galveston hit -1.7°C, and Lake Charles was even colder at -3.9°C. Yikes!
People who thought they’d be soaking up the sun on sandy beaches are now dealing with snowy shores and frigid temps. Talk about a surprise!
Sadly, there are reports of two suspected fatalities in Austin due to the extreme cold. It’s tough out there, especially for those who are most vulnerable.
But don’t worry too much; this cold snap won’t last forever. The chilly air is expected to move out, and more typical January weather should return by the end of the week.
Stay warm, everyone! And keep an eye on those winter storm warnings if you’re in the affected areas.
