Forecasters say these temperatures, which are more typical of late November could end up killing crops and other sensitive vegetation.

Steps should be taken to protect tender plants from the cold. According to RuralSprout.com, bring any potted plants indoors before the evening arrives. Water plants in the afternoon because moist soil has an insulating effect.

Add a thick layer of mulch to protect garden beds from a sudden temperature change. If possible, cover up individual plants with a cloche, blanket or a tarp.
