Florida shatters all-time snowfall record as winter
storm blankets Gulf Coast
A snowstorm for the record books covered Houston, New
Orleans and many other towns and cities across the
southern U.S. on Tuesday, breaking snowfall records
that have stood for over 100 years. At least nine
people have died.

A snowstorm of historic proportions walloped the Gulf
Coast this week, delivering travel-snarling snow from
Texas to the Carolinas and breaking records that have
stood for more than a century.
At least nine people have died across the central and
eastern United States, including a crash near
Batesville, Texas, amid icy conditions that caused five
fatalities, according to CNN.
All-time snow records were preliminarily set at most
weather stations on the central Gulf Coast, including
New Orleans; Mobile, Alabama; and Pensacola, Florida.
A state of emergency was declared in Alabama, Georgia,
Louisiana and Mississippi with schools across the
region closed and businesses shut down due to the
snowstorm.
AccuWeather's preliminary estimate for total damage and
economic loss from the snow, ice and extreme cold in
the South is $14-$17 billion. “This has been the worst
winter storm to hit the Gulf Coast in decades,"
AccuWeather Chief Meteorologist Jonathan Porter said.
“Businesses have been forced to shut down. Supply chain
and shipping logistics have been disrupted severely.
With the cold remaining in place, the impacts and
interruptions from this winter storm will be felt for
days to come.”
As the storm evolved and intensified along the Gulf
coast, a blizzard warning was issued for southwestern
Louisiana and southeastern Texas, including the
coastline. "It was the first blizzard warning issued
along the Gulf Coast of the United States," AccuWeather
Meteorologist and Digital Producer Jesse Ferrell said.
Florida
Snow arrived in the Florida Panhandle early Tuesday
afternoon, covering beaches and stretches of Interstate
10.
By the time the storm was over Tuesday night, the state
of Florida also preliminarily broke its all-time snow
record for any storm, with 9.8 inches at Milton,
located in the Florida Panhandle. This is the same area
where the state record of 4 inches was set on March 6,
1954.
Louisiana
Rumbles of rare thundersnow echoed near Lafayette,
Louisiana, on Tuesday morning as heavy snow blanketed
the region. By 2 p.m. CDT, 9.5 inches of snow had been
reported in Layfayette, with 10.5 at Rayne, Louisiana,
the highest report from the state. This did not reach
the official state record of 13 inches measured at
Colfax in 1960.
Many roads were closed in the state, including parts of
I-10 and I-55.
In New Orleans, the Louis Armstrong New Orleans
International Airport recorded 3 inches of snow in just
two hours Tuesday, with a total of 8 inches, more snow
than any snowstorm in the city since at least 1948,
when official records began. It was also the first time
measurable snow fell in the city since 2009.
In the late 1800s and early 1900s, New Orleans had
several heavy snowstorms, including one that unloaded
20.7 inches on an unofficial station on Jan. 15-16,
1909, 9.6 inches on Nov. 14, 1906, and 10 inches on
Feb. 14, 1895.
Mississippi and Alabama:
Gulfport, Mississippi, and Mobile, Alabama, last
received measurable snow more than 10 years ago, in the
winter of 2013-2014. However, on Tuesday, the regions
turned white, with the Mobile Regional Airport setting
a new preliminary all-time snow record of 7.5 inches.
The highest-reported snowfall from the storm was 11
inches near Babbie, Alabama.
Texas
Beaches turned white as a rare winter storm with heavy
snow and ice buried areas from San Antonio to Houston,
Texas, and along the Gulf coast through the Texas
Panhandle. While it has happened before, measurable
snow south of Interstate 10 along the shores of the
Gulf coast has occurred only a handful of times in
recorded history.
Houston was a "ghost town" early Tuesday morning as
residents hunkered down while snow blanketed the city,
but as the day progressed, people started to head out
and walk around in the rare snow, according to Storm
Chaser Aaron Jayjack.
"I've talked to several people, this is the first time
they've ever seen snow," Jayjack said. "This is a
lifetime [event], something they'll probably remember
for the rest of their lives."
For some, it was their first time ever seeing snow
while for others, spotting snow covering the sandy
beaches with the ocean as a backdrop was a rare treat.

As air expands, it pushes weather patterns in atypical directions. Because there is more heat in some areas it's displacing arctic air, and increasing high winds in others.
Sorry, but in most regions it's abnormally warm still.
Abnormal warmth IS going to expand and push cold to other regions though.
It doesn't all magically warm up or cool down evenly, and air doesn't magically all float in the same space.
Also, look up. Pay attention to the clouds.
They are moving incredibly fast compared to how they moved even a decade ago. I'm in the midwest, and at ground level we're still fine, but I look up and see how fast the clouds move, and am not surprised in the least that LA got the winds they did. Those layers also don't necessarily stay separate, and it's only a matter of time before we see more high winds everywhere.
All the patterns we're seeing are consistent with warming, not cooling.

I think some one is trying to change the weather to make it look as if it is
really cooling when they are just polluting the air and blocking the sun from
doing it's natural thing, warming.
enough of Musk satellites might be doing the same thing, blocking the sun.
problem is it makes solar panels less effective and evaporates water less/for rain.

in 1976 they did a nuclear winter experiment. 1977 was the coldest ever.
my folks in New England experienced over 30 days where the temperature never went
above zero degrees. people froze to death in their homes also pipes buried
6 feet in the earth froze and broke. frozen water made fire fighting impossible
ans many homes burnt to the ground as people tried to keep warm.
one week it stayed at minus 20 degrees hitting minus 28 over night.
I have tried looking up some of the records for it but they were missing.
I'm sure the government hid all references to the nuclear winter experiment
due to liability issues.
there are times I do wonder if all the fires across the country is due to someone
who believes that the cooling earth effect of the fire smoke will slow down
global warming. thinking of the David Kieth's experiments.
experiment was; 'US and Canadian forest services did the experiment.
together they burnt the nearly straight country line 1000 miles long.
the torches about a one mile section each side of the border, maybe more at once.
"I always figured it was because satellites could not see ground movement."
and they just called a nuclear winter deal.
your NWS storm spotter paid attention to the hype before it was done.
Santa Anna winds are a different story, but the thousands of fires
these last years, hmmmm let me think about that.
I had seen way too many fires along the same country roads 50 miles apart.
I have traveled most of them during my 30+ cross country round trips.
