…Alabama and the Deep South was in the deep freeze.
The official reading at the Birmingham City weather office was 1 degree above zero. The airport reading, the official location now, was –10 degrees.
Skaters were actually able to skate on the frozen surface of the Black Warrior River west of Birmingham, where ice was six inches thick near the banks.
An unheard of event!
The cold followed a 10 inch snowfall in Birmingham on January 23rd.
Any stories about the event out there?
