cold weather

Chances are pretty good that the night time hours will bring periods of sleet and light rain to portions of Acadiana.

Just in time to make it feel like Christmas Mother Nature is expected to drop a pre-Christmas chill on Louisiana by next week.

Chances are your tires are fine, it's just the recent turn in colder temperatures. Why does this happen? There's a very simple explanation.

Don't expect to see frozen fountains across the Lafayette area anytime next week. We'll return to more spring-like temperatures as Winter takes a break for a few days.

The best chance of seeing a snowflake will occur well north of U.S. Highway 190 today and tonight.

It's time to make cold weather preparations for the coldest night of the winter season. Freeze warnings have been posted across many parts of Louisiana.

An approaching cold front won't fire off too many showers over the next few days but it will bring much colder weather to Louisiana for the weekend.

It's not like we need anymore reasons to dislike the colder weather but in case you were running short of ideas we thought we'd help.

Unfortunately, here in South Louisiana, we have to wait until winter is almost over to get freezing temperatures. That is even if it gets that cold here. Watch this mindblowing video of a bubble freezing before your very eyes!

It's not news that the country is experiencing some pretty frigid weather at the moment. Some people have taken advantage of the freezing cold to conduct some experiments in the name of science -- like peeing into below-freezing air. Needless to say, the following is NSFW.

While the polar vortex that has taken over the country has made life frigidly miserable for some, it's created the opportunity for fun for others.

Robert Vick, an escaped inmate from a Lexington, Kentucky prison, decided that freedom wasn't worth freezing over. So, he turned himself in to police to ESCAPE (see what  we did there?) the freezing temperatures. Keep reading for more on the story.

A Minnesota man decided since it is so cold with record low temperatures, that he would try an experiment. At the time of the experiment, the temperature was -20 degrees Fahrenheit with a wind chill of -48 degrees Fahrenheit. The experiment was to place a can of ginger ale outside and see what the sub-zero temperature would do to it. Watch and see what happens.

If you are complaining how cold it is here in Louisiana today, you would not be able to correctly function in Russia. Right now, in parts of Russia, the temperature gets as low as -41 degrees Fahrenheit. These guys boiled a tub of water and threw it over their balcony and it is so cold, that the boiling water turns to snow instantly. Watch the video here.
