Soybean Rust:
Will the Fungus that causes soybean rust survive in Pennsylvania?

No, based on recent research by Iowa State University it does not appear that the fungus will survive the winter in Pennsylvania. However, the fungus is likely to survive in southern states where mild winter conditions allow survival of the fungus and allow kudzu to remain green all year.
