Rare cold weather phenomenon brings the coldest temperatures in 100 years to South

A 'Siberian Express' was barreling up from the Southeast to the Midwest and the East Coast bringing 100 record lows across the region, according to forecasters.

Kentucky was the first to experience a record-breaking low in the early hours of Thursday when the city of Paducah felt -8F - the coldest temperature in 120 years.

Tennessee, the Carolinas and Chicago were all warned to wrap up for record lows on Thursday. 

Boston, Washington, D.C., and New York were forecast to drop into the low single digits overnight into Friday.
