Many people may think that the citrusy wine mixture is only for summer time, but with the proper modifications, sangria can make the perfect fall cocktail. Typical sangrias consist of either red or white wine, and tend to be topped with fruits such as oranges, lemons, and/or cherries. You can easily mix up your own sangria for autumn, by adding in notes of apples, pears, bourbon, cider, and cinnamon sticks. We recommend using a white wine base such as pinot grigio, some apple cider, a touch of bourbon, and apples and cinnamon as a garnish. Once again, as long as your brix are at the proper level, your slushie will come out tasty and a perfect consistency.
Trolls must be woken up by making three matches. They change positions after every move like wolves, but they only move one of two tiles at a time, and only downwards unless a match is made next to them, in which case they move away from it, unless a match is made on top of them, in which case they do not move at all. However, unlike Marshmallow, they are lost if they fall from the bottom of the board.
Beginning in the 1880s, it became a popular pastime to gather on the ice for entertainment and to enjoy refreshments served out of outdoor huts set up on the frozen surface. This continued until 1912, when an unfortunate mishap during a particularly mild spell led three people to their deaths, ending the era of public access onto the ice bridge.
Niagara Falls is a natural wonder that appeals to the visual senses and provides an exhilarating experience, and at no time is this more evident than in the winter. As a fourseason destination, showcasing the natural wonders of the Canadian Niagara River Corridor to the world, from the blooming beauty of spring, the lush greenery of summer, to the vibrant foliage of the fall. However, in winter, the power of the crushing Niagara River make itself only more prominent, miniature glaciers build in the Niagara Gorge, and the frigid mist coats the surrounding landscape in ice, creating a truly inspiring, natural and magical winter wonderland.
When a cold front came through Middle Tennessee and left the region below freezing weather for a week straight, I started planning an adventure to brave the cold and hike to a few Tennessee frozen waterfalls. After a few nights where the low reached 7 degrees, I saw an Instagram story where Greeter Falls was frozen solid, so the next morning we left on our adventure.
My first trip, with Tyler, we headed to Greeter Falls and arrived to a perfect cloudy morning. The hike is fairly easy, with an steep ending into the gorge that has you going down a spiral staircase and some steep steps. Greeter Falls is quite the splash, so the spray from the waterfalls created one of the most beautiful scenes I've ever witnessed in Tennessee.
Tyler is a good amount braver than I, and he made his way out on the ice. Reluctantly, I made my way around the edge to get closer to the falls. Just as my confidence started rising, I quickly made my was through the ice and into the freezing cold water. The water came up to my waist, but fortunately it was easy just to climb the rocks nearby back on solid ice.
This is where being prepared comes into play, and luck has little to do with it. I was carrying my camera and didn't want to risk it entirely, so sticking to the edges kept me in familiar shallow territory. I also brought an extra pair of pants and socks on the trail with me, so I stripped down to my undies in 20 degree weather and changed into my dry clothes. By the time I went to pick my wet clothes off the rocks, they had frozen and I had to peel them off. By the time we got back to the car, my shoe laces had frozen solid, so eventually got them off and switched to another pair I keep in my car.
I didn't want the mishap to ruin the rest of the day, so we headed down the road to Foster Falls for more adventure. Foster Falls isn't as shaded, so the falls weren't very different from the weather, but the shallow water was a solid block of ice (but we didn't dare go out on it after what just happened). However, the smaller falls to the right of foster falls is a bit more shaded, and was mostly solid ice.
Later in the week, the weather hadn't warmed up, so I figured waterfalls would be even more frozen over than before. I decided to take Daniel and Grace to Fall Creek Falls. I at least knew the Cascades would be frozen, and love the suspension bridge that goes over it. We started at the Cascades and took the trail over the suspension bridge to the Cane Creek Falls Overlook.
Opting not to do the trail from the Cane Creek Falls overlook to Fall Creek Falls, we headed back to the car to drive to the Fall Creek Falls overlook, where we hiked down to the base of the falls. The base of Fall Creek Falls was completely frozen over. Both of the falls went under a thick sheet of ice and reappeared many yards away where the river forms again. The smaller of the two falls had created a 25 foot ice mountain over the week, and there was six inches of ice covering most everything around it. The whole basin was covered in ice that wasn't too slippery, but made a perfect winter scene.

Typically, frost can occur when the temperature falls below 36F, especially in rural areas. It is a localized phenomena and can be quite variable across a small area. While the National Weather Service does not keep track of "frost" in observations per se, we do keep track of when temperatures hit the freezing mark or fall below. Frost becomes more widespread when the temperature falls below 32F with some freeze possible. A hard freeze is possible when temperatures fall below 28F. In the 32F/28F Freeze Maps section, you'll find national and regional maps from the Midwest Regional Climate Center (MRCC) that depict the typical dates for freezes in the early fall, and the earliest/latest freeze dates observed in the past. In the Earliest/Latest Freeze Dates section, you'll find statistics on the earliest and latest fall freeze dates for selected sites across our forecast area. In the preparation section, we have information about NWS Frost Advisories and Freeze/Hard Freeze Watches/Warnings, along with some tips for protecting plants.
Freeze Warnings are only issued from May 1-October 20th (can be extended if necessary). A freeze warning is issued when low temperatures are expected to be 29-32 degrees. A Freeze Watch may be issued a few days ahead of time if the potential exists for temperatures to fall into these thresholds.
Hard Freeze Warnings are only issued from May 1-October 20th (can be extended if necessary). A hard freeze warning is issued when temperatures are expected to be 28 degrees or less. A Hard Freeze Watch may be issued a few days ahead of time if the potential exists for temperatures to fall into these thresholds.

Blackwater Falls State Park has lots to offer no matter what time of year it is. Our family took an afternoon and traveled 13 miles north on Rt 32 through Davis to the park to see what the falls looks like in the winter. As you can see from the pictures, we chose a day where the conditions were especially snowy. The park does not seem to keep the path cleared so be prepared for very careful stepping as you weave your way down the paths and staircases to the observation deck. While the falls are amazing any time of year, in our opinion the snow and ice buildup around the raging waterfall make this natural wonder that much more impressive.
