Southern US Gulf Coast, New Orleans, Mobile, Pensacola, Houston, Jacksonville, USAWednesday, January 22, 2025

A massive winter storm swept through the southern United States, dumping record-breaking snow in places like Florida and Louisiana. This is unusual for the region, which isn't used to such harsh winter weather. The storm led to road closures, flight cancellations, and even deaths. New Orleans got 8 inches of snow, shattering its old record. Cities like Atlanta and Mobile also saw unprecedented snowfall. Roads were icy and dangerous, making travel difficult.

Schools and offices closed in many places. The storm reminded people of a similar event in 2014 that caused major traffic jams. Even though the snow is stopping, temperatures are still very low, making roads slippery again. Many people are worried about the cold, especially those without homes. Officials are warning people to stay safe and avoid traveling if possible.
