The all time record low in Arkansas is -29F, and that was way up in the northwest corner, not so far from 97jedi in SW Missouri. The January average low down in the central part of the state, closer to where I'm at, is just below the freezing mark, at 31F. So the fact that its supposed to bottom out at 17 this morning is....worrisome.
For reference, the state record high is 120F, and the central portion of the state averages a daily high over 90F throughout July & August. Its glorious.
