The coldest temperatures in 7 years occurred across much of North and Central Alabama and lasted for about two days.  Early morning temperatures ranged from 2 to 10 degrees. The coldest temperatures were measured in outlying areas.  Although no new records were established, these temperatures were very cold for the Deep South.  Many area residents reported frozen and broken water pipes as a result of the extended cold.  Several lawn sprinkler systems also froze and broke making many areas very icy.  One woman in Talladega was found outside dead,  apparently succumbing to the harsh, cold conditions. Many area farmers lost a large part of their strawberry crops.
