South Faces Freezing Surprise as Northeast Gets First Snow
9 Nov
Summary
- Freezing temperatures are forecast for Tennessee, Alabama, and Georgia.
- Northeastern cities may experience their first snowflakes next week.
- Southern homeowners should prepare vulnerable plants and outdoor plumbing.

Unexpected freezing temperatures are anticipated to affect Tennessee, Alabama, and Georgia by next weekend, as colder air moves in from Canada. This pattern, expected to begin around Friday, November 13, could bring temperatures near or below freezing to cities like Nashville and Huntsville, potentially ending the fall growing season for some areas. Southern residents are advised to prepare vulnerable plants and outdoor plumbing for these colder conditions.
Concurrently, the Northeast is poised to receive its first snowflakes of the season between Thursday and Saturday, November 12-14. Cities such as Pittsburgh and Syracuse, along with higher elevations in areas like the Poconos, are in the potential snowfall zone. However, major East Coast cities like Philadelphia, New York City, and Boston are expected to remain too warm for snow due to moderating ocean temperatures.
