The Florida panhandle is right in the path of a wintry weather storm. Governor Ron DeSantis declared a state of emergency as the frigid temperatures took over.

On Wednesday morning, the National Weather Service (NWS) office in Tallahassee, Florida, posted a satellite image to X (formerly Twitter) that was taken around 9:50 a.m. local time. The image, which NWS Tallahassee called a "historic," showed snowfall throughout the Florida panhandle, as well as in Alabama and Georgia.

An historic January storm dumped more deep snow along the U.S. Gulf Coast on Wednesday after bringing Houston and New Orleans to a near standstill over the past two days and burying parts of Florida's Panhandle with accumulations more typical of Chicago.

Multiple parts of Florida are seeing snow as a winter storm makes its way across the Gulf Coast. On Monday, Jan. 20, Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis declared a state of emergency ahead of dangerously cold wind chills and prolonged freezing and sub-freezing temperatures.

The National Weather Service has issued extreme cold warnings, cold weather advisories and freeze warnings for Florida.

Interstate 10 from the Alabama/Florida state line almost to Tallahassee has been closed since Wednesday evening. Conditions have now improved.

Snow in the Sunshine State doesn't happen very often. But it did. And here are the photos from Pensacola to Yulee to prove it.

Snow totals in the inconceivable 4-6” range are a possibility. The all-time Florida snow record of 4” from Milton in 1954 is in serious danger of falling in the next 24 hours.

If confirmed, Florida had its highest snowfall total since 1954. As many as 15,000 Duke Energy customers lost power at one point.

Officials are asking Panhandle residents to avoid being on the roads. Freezing temperatures mean icy, dangerous conditions.

Storm Warning is in effect for the entire Interstate 10 corridor where snow and ice accumulations could reach 4" over the next 24 hours. Pensacola will likely see the most snowfall in the state while greater amounts of ice are anticipated for cities such as Tallahassee and Jacksonville.

Florida is in the rare position of being able to say they have more snow than Massachusetts. In the recent s nowfall on Sunday into Monday, Boston received 5 inches of snow, according to the National Weather Service. Ashburnham and Holden, both in Central Massachusetts, had reports of 7 inches and 7.5 inches of snow.
