Temperatures could reach around the freezing mark due to multiple shots of cold air coming into the eastern US during the first two weeks of January, said Alex DaSilva, AccuWeather meteorologist. The first front is set to hit by January 4, dropping temperatures into the 40s in the south and freezing in the north.
The worst of the downturn could see the annual Disney Marathon on January 12th facing temperatures as low as 20 degrees Fahrenheit, with highs in the 40s and 50s. The cold snap could even bring snow to the Orlando area, the first since a modest 0.05-inch snowfall in January of 1977.
Local meteorologists can't agree on whether snow will come to Disney. Chief meteorologist Paul Dellegatto noted, 'Remember, when it gets cold around here, the atmosphere typically lacks moisture. Can't get snow without something falling from the sky.'
