They got it this weekend.

And hundreds of crashes throughout the region.

In Charlotte, firefighters plucked a pickup driver from a pond after skidding.

Not far away, a semi got stuck on tracks and struck by a train.

That driver also okay.

This as a massive storm that swept more than half the country the weekend before left lingering snow, ice, and headaches, from travel delays to power outages.

Entrenched Arctic air had made it colder in parts of Texas and Florida than it was in Juneau, Alaska.

Topsy-turvy temperatures that should turn around.

Temperatures will start to moderate, so they won't be quite as below average.

But still, colder than normal this week.

In a news briefing Sunday, North Carolina Governor Josh Stein reported 1,000 traffic collisions and two fatalities and urged people to stay home.

Temperatures also dropped into the 20s in parts of Florida.

He said while this may be normal for much of the country, people in Florida just aren't equipped for it.

Temperatures were at record lows in some parts of the state.

Orlando saw its lowest in 90 years.

Black ice is going to stick around for a few days.
