I hear even Fla is supposed to get some bitter cold with this pattern. They are gonna be freezing. Do houses down there, namely southern FLA, even have central heat?

Depends on the owner. My last house we didn't bother putting in the heating coil into our central AC. We just pulled out the blankets when needed. Some folks put it in and some don't.

LOL at the color gradient on this stupid map. Basically blue is anywhere from -5F to 30F same with the green, looks like anything from 35ishF to 75ishF is green lool.

My hot water is still frozen. The room next to it I have heating nicely now, but it won't thaw. Earlier in the day there was more cold air coming in through the drafty-ass walls than the heater could put out, but the wind has died down a bit now.

Since the main kitchen drain froze I am emptying a drip bucket every 30 min all night.

Texas has 77k customers without power on the outtage map. County I lived at in TX list 4 customers tracked, 0 without power. I guess that's all that get there's from the TX grid cause mine came in from LA

GA most in the country, 100k. Of course no idea what normal numbers are.

Here in Athens GA where the wind just keeps on whipping it has gotten cold. I have water dripping and radiators going cause heating coils not going to help a whole lot with this kind of temperature. Had a hard time sleeping because of how hard that wind got at times. Its a reverse tropical system. All it has is the wind.

-4 F here, and about 2 inches of snow. Now it is blowing around and we're getting little bits of lake effect snow. Storm of the century? Storm of a lifetime? This is some bullshit. I was hoping for 3 feet of snow.

Not sure I can agree with the wind chill they are reporting. It's 19F here now and wind chill of -4. Sun is shining, wind wasn't that bad. I went out and lit a fire in the fire pit and smoked a cigar. I've been in temps -4 or so and this did not feel like -4.
