Historic Winter Storm Impacts the Gulf Coast, Bringing Record Snowfall and Deadly Cold
A rare and unprecedented winter storm has swept across the Gulf Coast, bringing record-breaking snowfall from Texas to Florida. As communities struggle to recover from the blizzard conditions, areas such as Houston and New Orleans have reported significant snowfall totals, with some places receiving up to six inches. The storm has led to thousands of flight cancellations and widespread power outages, leaving over 132,000 people without electricity. Tragically, at least four fatalities have been linked to this severe cold snap. Citizens are engaging in rare snowy activities such as sledding and snowball fights, while weather alerts remain in effect for the impacted areas. This once-in-a-lifetime snowstorm is creating both hazardous travel conditions and unexpected winter fun across the southern United States.
