00:00The northeast was not the only region to see snow yesterday.
00:03Some of the high ground of the southeast in western North Carolina saw flakes as well.
00:08Here we are in Roaring Creek, North Carolina.
00:11Flakes south of at least the Virginia line.
00:15Kind of exciting. In the mountains they do it pretty frequently though, Anna.
00:18Yeah, it looks like a wintry mix here and some of the sound as well.
00:23I think not all of this in this particular video is snowflakes,
00:26but we did see a little bit of accumulation again into the Appalachians just like we were talking about
00:31that that's where we would see it.
00:32Most of you have stayed dry, but you're about to really feel the cold.
00:38Take a look. Everybody here, you're going to wake up tomorrow with potentially some frost on the windshield
00:44or even we could have a hard freeze if it's cold enough where you are.
00:48There's a little bit of a difference in temperatures for some of you.
00:51Now Nashville, we're close to freezing here.
00:53We have some pockets of 20, so that's where you're more likely to get that hard freeze.
00:58But even somewhere like Jacksonville, we're at 40, but into these areas that we're a little bit closer
01:04to 40 than we are to 30, that's where it's more likely to see that frost
01:08that you might have to defrost the windshield, probably want the jacket on the way out the door.
01:11Keep in mind that we could see frozen pipes from this.
01:16Yeah, it's cold enough for that.
01:18And then also, of course, the plants, they're in danger.
01:22Cover them up, bring them inside before you go to bed tonight, or they're probably not going to survive.
01:27And as we look towards Sunday morning, I mean, we get down towards I-10, towards the Gulf Coast,
01:31and that's where the growing season continues about year-round.
01:34So certainly some farmers paying attention to this, I'm sure.
01:37Things shifting a little further east, but somewhere like Nashville and Memphis,
01:40you're still included as we go to Saturday and Sunday with that threat.
01:45Okay.
