I just heard this on a local tv news channel. South Louisiana ( which is where I live) averages 13 days each winter where the temperature drops down below freezing.Thus far this winter there have been 26 days where the temperature has gone below 32! I live 20 miles from the Gulf Of Mexico! It is very rare for this area to see icicles hanging from roofs, tree branches, mailboxes etc. I have seen this 4 or 5 times since January.
