Front brings coldest temperatures of season
POSTED: 4:35 p.m. EST, December 7, 2006
(CNN) -- A powerful cold front headed for the South on Thursday, bringing the coldest temperatures of the season to many parts of the United States.
From New England to Texas, temperatures were expected to drop by as much as 30 degrees during the day as the front pushed southeast.
The front packed strong winds as well as cold temperatures, and "feels-like," or wind chill, temperatures were expected to plummet by 50 degrees in some places.
Although the front was expected to affect most of the East, the South was in line for the worst of it, with Thursday night lows expected to drop below freezing as far south as New Orleans and Jacksonville, Florida.
The Great Lakes region felt the effects of the front early Thursday, with morning temperatures near zero in many places.
High winds took another 20 degrees off those readings, so the temperature in Duluth, Minnesota, felt like 28 degrees below zero.
