Historic Winter Storm Enzo Hits the Gulf Coast with Rare Snow and Ice

A historic winter storm, dubbed Winter Storm Enzo, is currently affecting the Gulf Coast, bringing rare snowfall and severe weather conditions to southern states, including Texas, Louisiana, and Florida. The storm has triggered blizzard warnings and emergency measures as cities like Houston and New Orleans prepare for unprecedented snow totals. Reports indicate substantial snowfall amounts, with up to 5 inches possible in some areas. Houston airports have suspended operations and road conditions remain hazardous due to ice and snow accumulation. Local officials are urging residents to stay indoors and avoid travel as power outages and school closures impact many communities. This once-in-a-generation storm is characterized by its polar vortex-driven Arctic blast and is expected to continue through the week.
