Temperatures Friday night and early Saturday in traditional hot spots such as Shreveport, Louisiana; Jackson, Mississippi; Birmingham, Alabama; and Atlanta are set to dip into the low 20s or teens.
The weeklong Arctic cold that’s blanketed much of the nation has taken more than 50 lives, officials said, as 66 million people in the United States are under winter weather warnings Friday.
Wind chill alerts Friday afternoon stretched from Montana to Florida and freeze alerts remained in effect across the South and Gulf Coast.

Of the 51 cold-related deaths since last Friday, 17 happened in Tennessee, nine in Oregon, six in Illinois, five in Washington state and Mississippi, three in New York state, two in Louisiana and one each in Arkansas, Wisconsin, Wyoming and New Hampshire, local and state officials have told NBC News.
Side note: I dislike titles that assume print addition. I have no idea which nation we are talking about without reading further.
I really hate it when the town name, but not country or state are included. “Buffalo” could be one of many. At least “Athens” presumes the big one in Georgia.
Maybe it’s NY bias, but Buffalo is only ever Buffalo, NY and I’ve never heard of another.
Then I have a treat for you.

Huh, TIL.
And doing some quick math, the population of all of those towns/cities together is still less than 1/2 the population of Buffalo NY. So I would still say unless stated otherwise, assume Buffalo NY. =)
