However, most of the country will experience plummeting temperatures at the start of the new year. The Northern Plains and the Rockies can expect storms of heavy ice, sleet, snow and rain. Southern regions, like Texas, won't be exempt from the low temperatures either, looking at a winter similar to last year's record-breaking numbers.
