On Monday morning, new record low temperatures for May 13 were tied or broken in Nashville, Tenn. [2], Toledo, Ohio [3], Detroit, Mich. [4], Tupelo, Miss. [5] and Marquette, Mich. [6], to name a few locations. Light snow was even reported in Bradford, Pa. and in the Adirondacks of Upstate New York.
