The central and eastern U.S. prepared for another blast of record-breaking cold, snow and ice on Friday after already frigid temperatures shattered all-time lows, NBC News reported. The Weather Channel says the newest band of Arctic air could set record lows Friday morning in six dozen communities from New England to Florida, with single digits possible as far south as Georgia, North Carolina and Tennessee. Temperatures and wind chills on Thursday dipped near zero or below in the Midwest, Northeast and even the normally balmy South. There were at least 15 weather-related fatalities: 11 in Tennessee, three in Ohio and one in Kentucky.
