Many across the East may have thought that the calendar flipped back to winter due to the cold blast that brought a dramatic drop in temperatures and even snow to some communities.
Residents who did not turn on the heat before heading to bed Tuesday night were likely shivering when they woke up Wednesday morning.
Temperatures throughout the East started Wednesday 20 to as much as 40 degrees lower than the previous 24 hours.
That statement is even true southward to Tampa and Orlando, Fla. Only South Florida escaped the dramatic cooldown.
Temperatures plummeted 20 degrees (from 63 F to 43 F) in 38 minutes in Syracuse, N.Y., Tuesday morning. The arrival of the cold air caused a 7-degree temperature fall in Allentown, Pa., in only eight minutes Tuesday afternoon.
Temperatures dropped so much that many in the Northeast saw rain end as snow or snow pellets, one or two days after experiencing summerlike warmth.
