Seven centimetres of snow were recorded in Mississippi and 13 centimetres in
Alabama, the National Weather Service said, while temperatures as low as
minus 13 degrees Celsius were measured in Georgia.
When you think the The Masters Golf is played there in April and it's often
very hot it just shows the extremes of a continental climate. Augusta is
about 33 deg North, similar to Baghdad which also had snow recently. Good
old North Atlantic Drift.
