I live just west of Pensacola, and I had something like this around last Christmas (2022). I will do what I did last year: cover my crawl space openings with plastic sheeting, blast my heat and drip my taps.
A cold blast this far south is supposedly a once-in-a-generation event, but it seems to be increasing in frequency. FU, you global warmunists!
Easy to explain.
Once the first one finally happens, a new generation begins.
