  2. So if a -6 or let's say a -2 is it possible to see numbers in Ocala or let's say North Central, Florida. Temperature ranging to let's say to that -2 if the record is 11 is that too 7,8,9? To the -6 is it too 3,4,5? True isn't it...

  3. I guess I had too break the weather criteria down to the science and forget the drama the awaits on TV. If it what is understood through those facts the public is truly unaware of what really bad weather is....I mean really bad. It will be the Micheal Jackson moonwalk of weather.
