Last week's historic Gulf Coast snowstorm helped lock down a rarity in the U.S. as all 50 states have already seen accumulating snow this winter − and all 50 had some at the same time. The power of the storm also created another rarity: Some Southern cities have seen more snow than their Northern brethren.
After a record-breaking Gulf Coast storm, cities like New Orleans and Pensacola, Florida, have had more snow this winter than Omaha, Des Moines and New York.
The rare winter storm that hit the southern U.S. dumped significant amounts of snow on areas that usually get none.
Dangerous below-freezing temperatures with even colder wind chills were also expected to last over much of the week in the region.
Lingering frigid conditions could continue to disrupt the South in cities not accustomed to the deep freeze that has gripped much of the nation.
Snow totals in Louisiana have broken records. Parts of Florida, Texas and Georgia have also accumulated several inches of snow.
The dangerous winter storm has resulted in the deaths of at least 13 people across the U.S. and knocked out power for more than 120,000 customers in four states
As of Wednesday morning, Mobile, Alabama, recorded a total of 7.5 inches of snow, surpassing the previous record of 3.6 inches set in 1973. Pensacola got a record 7.6 inches of snow, beating its previous record of 3 inches reported in 1895, according to USA Today.
Sun-soaked Florida and other parts of the South appear to have shattered snowfall records in what many are calling a once-in-a-lifetime chance to witness sandy snowscapes on beaches, of all places.
A rare frigid storm charged through Texas and the northern Gulf Coast on Tuesday, blanketing New Orleans and Houston with snow.
