We may go to 10 deg F here in South MS this week.

Looks like a record cold.
Sorry to hear that. I hope you make it through the cold OK.
It's been a weird year. We had one of the coolest Octobers on record,
followed by one of the warmest Novembers (I worked outside in
shirtsleeves most of the month). And then it turned bitterly cold in
December, with a lot more snow than we usually get. Yeah, I'm used to
variable weather, but this has been ridiculous!
They say we'll get yet another snowstorm this week - with lots of wind
(which doesn't sound good with the snow piled everywhere already) - and
then it's REALLY going to turn cold. (And here I thought that -15 was
cold!) Well, we've had a lot of mild winters in recent years, so maybe I
got spoiled.
Good luck!
