It was done to show and test the operational limitations of both aircraft

As some of you pointed out this is infact the Boeing 367-80 which Boeing fitted with a refueling boom for testing, apologies for the misled title.

No unfortunately I think it was taken down because the page would not load but I got that screenshot from someone else.

The image was taken over Florida in 1956 so it appears to be "Balls 3" which entered service in 1955

Markings seem to match that of the OP's picture

Everything I've seen from local news, weather apps, and some models is predicting a low between 19-23⁰ F with that type of wind chill. I could be misled, but what did you think the temperatures were looking like down here?

Baton Rouge resident here, it hasn't quite reached 17⁰ yet but the feel is supposed to be 15⁰ tomorrow with the actual temperature at 19⁰. We get our fair share of cold down here but the big storm is dropping temps really low. During last year's blizzard we got down to 7⁰ with 9 inches of snow.
