The snowstorm that crippled the Gulf Coast is gone, but cold weather remains in place across most of the eastern U.S., stretching all the way to Florida.

The storm on Wednesday left a foot of snow in parts of North Carolina, and daily records in Raleigh (5.9 inches) and Atlanta (2.3 inches).

On Thursday morning, the cold has moved all the way to southern Florida. A wind chill advisory has been issued all the way to Naples and West Palm Beach, Florida, where wind chills are near freezing this morning.

It was so cold in the Gulf of Mexico you could see steam rising from the water near Destin, Florida, on Wednesday.

We could have a non-polar ice cap off Florida’s coast, and they’d still blame it on Gorebil Worming.

Wow colder than it’s been in 30+ years in some places! Global warming at its best!

With all the BS PC talk about gender neutrality, funny how it doesn't apply to anything negative. HitMAN madMAN, MANmade climate change. As if there's some lame, transparent attempt at subtle MANipulation.

Is it killing the orange trees yet?

On WFLA someone said it is so cold, Bill slept with Hillary to keep warm...😁

This morning, on the Veterans Expressway, there was black ice...so they closed one lane to remove it...
