Winter weather has been blamed for 14 deaths in Tennessee as parts of the northeast get ready for more snow and cold temperatures on Friday.

Tennessee was battered by cold weather and more than nine inches of snow in Nashville, causing state government offices to be closed on Wednesday and delaying their opening on Thursday. The Tennessee Highway Patrol investigated three deadly car crashes attributed to the weather. There were also 100 crashes involving injuries and 200 involving no injuries, per the Associated Press.

The 14 deaths confirmed by state officials came in Shelby (five), Hickman (one), Madison (one), Washington (two), Carroll (one), Knox (one), Van Buren (one), Lauderdale (one), and Henry (one) counties.

As Tennessee pushes through inclement winter conditions, the National Weather Service has winter weather advisories in place as far south as Alabama and as far north as New Jersey and Michigan, east of the Mississippi River.

Washington, D.C., which saw its first substantial snowfall in two years in recent days, is preparing for more snow on Friday.

On Thursday, Mayor Muriel Bowser extended the cold weather emergency for the District of Columbia through Sunday, allowing snow teams to prepare for the inclement weather.

“Beginning at midnight, the Snow Team will deploy to apply salt on all snow emergency routes, including the National Highway System. Residential and side streets are already pretreated due to the amount of brine and salt spread during the snow event earlier this week. Trucks will be on standby to make additional deployments should accumulation reach two inches or more,” the mayor’s office said in a news release.

The Washington, D.C., government says it expects snowfall to begin at 1 a.m. and continue throughout the day on Friday, reaching 1-2 inches. It warned the district could get as much as 4 inches.

West Virginia is also taking precautions for expected heavy snowfall and “dangerous wind chill” expected in the coming days. Gov. Jim Justice (R-WV) declared a state of emergency in all 55 counties in the state on Thursday and urged residents to heed warnings.

“All West Virginians need to absolutely be ready for the potential impact this winter storm may bring to our state,” Justice said in a statement. “West Virginians should pay extra close attention to emergency officials and media outlets, and be prepared if there are power outages. West Virginians take care of one another, so make sure you check on your neighbors and loved ones, too.”
