The November 2018 cold wave will be remembered for one of the coldest start’s to November on record in some Midwest cities while for some southern cities where it’s still typically in the 70s at this time of year, they witnessed their earliest snow on record.

Coldest So Early in the Season or in Years
San Antonio saw its low temperature plummet to a shivering 23 degrees Wednesday morning, crushing the previous daily record for Nov. 14 of 28 degrees.
Not only that, it was the coldest temperature ever recorded in San Antonio so early in the season.
Farther north, Minneapolis/St. Paul had its first single-digit low temperature in the month of November in almost four years on Tuesday morning (7 degrees). The last time the Twin Cities had a single digit low in November was Nov. 30, 2014.
Kansas City’s low temperature of 9 degrees Saturday morning was the coldest November temperature there since Nov. 18, 2014 (6 degrees).
We did it again! Back-to-back freezes in Houston…in November! The last time that happened this early in the fall was November 1991. #HoustonIsSoCool https://t.co/kYz1z4P7gd pic.twitter.com/vZrnNkcqOw

Record Early Snowfall
Houston reported its earliest snowfall on record Tuesday morning as a brief bout of wintry precipitation moved over the metro area.
Although there wasn’t any accumulation, it was enough for the city to crush its previous record for earliest first flakes from Nov. 23, 1979.
Daily record lows tied or set this AM in Cedar Rapids, IA (10˚), St. Louis (18˚) and Okla. City (20˚). Some high temperatures in the Dakotas Friday didn't get out of the teens. Happy #Novembuary. pic.twitter.com/xy6NdkZb0Y

First single-digit November temperatures this AM in the Twin Cities in almost four years (Nov. 30, 2014). Subzero cold this AM at St. Cloud, MN. The Nov. 2014 #cold snap produced a Thanksgiving low of -4˚ at MSP in 2014, the only November this century of subzero cold, there. pic.twitter.com/sVjm630OF8

Meanwhile in the Deep South…

Also in Louisiana
Follow-up: @NWSShreveport has now confirmed this was the record earliest-in-season measurable #snow in Monroe, LA, smashing the previous record by 10 days (Nov. 24, 1950). That previous record was from the same system that eventually became the Great Appalachian Storm of 1950. https://t.co/EbMInOFWP3
