The United States is preparing for a major bout of wintry weather, with meteorologists issuing stark warnings for intense snowfall across northern regions and a severe cold snap set to grip the South.
Major Snowfall Hits the North
Forecasters are predicting one of the season's first significant winter weather events, targeting areas around the Great Lakes and Northern Plains. The Chicago area and communities surrounding Lake Michigan are on high alert, with predictions of up to 18 inches of snow accompanied by winds of 30 mph.
This potent combination is expected to cause significant disruption, particularly for the Monday morning commute on 10 November 2025. The hazardous conditions are likely to lead to low visibility and dangerous travel.
Widespread Winter Storm Warnings
Official winter storm warnings are now in effect for several states, including Michigan, Indiana, and Wisconsin. These regions are also anticipating substantial accumulations, with up to 12 inches of snow forecast.
Further west, parts of Minnesota, Nebraska, and South Dakota are already experiencing the effects. Residents there are contending with patchy blowing snow and wind chills that make it feel near zero, following earlier snowfall in some locales.
Deep Freeze Descends on the South
While the North deals with heavy snow, a wide swathe of the Southern US is bracing for a sharp temperature drop. Freezing temperatures are predicted from Texas across to Georgia.
In response, cold weather warnings have been issued for Ohio, West Virginia, and Kentucky. Authorities are advising the public, especially gardeners, to take necessary precautions to protect sensitive plants from the unseasonable chill.
This widespread weather event, reported on Sunday 09 November 2025, underscores a dramatic start to the winter season for much of the country.
