January frosts in November: weather forecasters told which states to prepare for record cold weather
A large portion of the United States is gearing up for the start of the cold winter season, which could break records from New Mexico to New Jersey and bring more snow to parts of Michigan. Already on Monday it was so cold and slippery that at the Chicago O'Hare airport the plane left the runway.
“There are currently 148 record weather forecasts for temperatures reaching or falling below 1 degree (nearly -18 Celsius) between Tuesday and Thursday this week,” the National Weather Prediction Center wrote on Sunday, quoting USA Today.
Record lows are expected in the South and Midwest on Tuesday, November 12, in some areas of Texas temperatures can drop to 16 degrees (-9 C). It is predicted that in some cities in Texas and Louisiana, temperatures will reach a minimum of 40 degrees (4 C), which will break long-term records.
AccuWeather senior meteorologist Dan Pidinowski said that despite the middle of November on the calendar, temperatures will more likely resemble mid-January, spreading over most of the country, starting Monday, November 11, in the Upper Midwest and slowly gliding south and east.
“Monday will be the worst in the Upper Midwest, Wisconsin-Dakota,” Pidinowski said. “Highs up to 20 degrees (-7 C), lows down to single digits.”

On Monday morning in Chicago, 2 to 5 inches of snow fell. The driving conditions reported by the locals were described as “treacherous,” notes Fox News.

Airlines at Chicago's O'Hara and Midway airports canceled hundreds of flights due to snowfall in the region, creating difficult travel conditions. According to officials, near 8: 00, immediately after landing at O'Hare International Airport, the plane slid off the runway.
A video of one of the passengers shows how the plane turns left, and then leaves the runway and falls into the snow.

An American Airlines spokesperson told Fox News that American Eagle flight 4125, operated by Envoy Air, skidded off the runway after landing at O'Hare - the flight originated from Greensboro, North Carolina. A company spokesman said it was "due to icy conditions."
“No injuries were reported,” the spokesman said. “All 38 passengers and 3 crew members were removed from the aircraft and have now returned safely to the terminal.”
An airport spokesman told Fox News that the incident had a “moderate impact” on all operations taking place at the airport.
According to forecasts by the Weather Service in Markett, Michigan, in some parts of Michigan on Monday it can fall up to 1 feet (more than 30 cm) of snow.
“Please note that several more inches are expected throughout the day and evening Monday and into Tuesday,” the weather service said.

The cold will move deep south. In Alabama, maximums can only reach 30 degrees.
“Temperatures could range between 25 and 30 degrees (-4 to -1 C) from Monday to Tuesday,” the weather service in Birmingham wrote. “The decline will continue on Tuesday with evening lows as low as 20 degrees (-7 C) and some areas as low as 10 (-12 C).”
