We were on the edge of the biggest arctic outbreak on record in the continental US on this date in 1899, so severe that below zero readings reached all the way to northern Florida! Here, a storm rode the edge of the cold, producing the Cold Storm of ’99 as it was known, with temperatures near zero, and 10 to 15 inches of snow.
