4. Word of the Day

Arctic air is freezing the United States, with temperatures dropping 30-40 degrees below average and snow and ice sweeping across the Deep South. Cities across the Midwest are dropping to single-degrees and even into the negatives, while cities like Dallas and Little Rock drop into the teens. Some cities, such as Memphis, have even issued a state of emergency over the heavy snow, and multiple feet have fallen in some other states. Schools were closed in Nashville and Memphis after snow blanketed the cities, and Mississippi, Alabama, and Georgia all have slick, icy roads this morning after a wintry mix fell and froze overnight. If you are driving anywhere in the eastern US today, be careful!
