Very poorly written article. Sensationalize clickbait or just a stupid author. But in the bulk of the article they state clearly that the headline, as written, is a lie. They seem to be blustering to scare people into more caution while travelling due to an impending cold burst. Despite being from the U.K., DailyMail is famous for poor writing and poor editing (like this one).
Daytime high temperatures could be stuck below freezing for parts of the northern US, including the Great Lakes, the Northeast and the Ohio Valley, Cory Baggett, a meteorologist with the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration's Climate Prediction Center, told USA TODAY on Monday.
Most states affected by this Artic outbreak are unlikely to see snow. But in the Great Lakes region, this blast of cold air could trigger feet of lake-effect snowfall
Overnight lows could sink into the teens, and wind chill will make the temperature feel even colder, he added.
As for southern states, this blast of wintery weather is bad news for some farmers.
'We are concerned about freezing overnight low temperatures reaching the Gulf Coast and northern portions of Florida, where citrus crops may be vulnerable,' Baggett said.
'Despite anomalously cold temperatures, we are currently NOT expecting widespread record-breaking cold temperatures. That said, this will likely be the coldest air of the season thus far.'
[That last line is essentially the entire article in a few words.]
