Stx_Thunder Posted January 21 Share Posted January 21 https://www.earthcam.com/usa/louisiana/neworleans/bourbonstreet/?cam=catsmeow2 NWS says measurable snow hasn't happened in New Orleans metro since 1963 (if I'm correct on it being actual snowfall not since back then). 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
smokeybandit Posted January 21 Share Posted January 21 Seeing the reaction to accumulated snow in areas that rarely ever get snow is amusing to me. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just read an article about the all-time record February 1895 snowfall. Which had just over 8 in. Today's totals in the vicinity have reached over 9 in. looking at NWS LIX data. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's been pretty chilly overall at least here in TX since just after Jan 5 when the first Arctic airmass intrusion came down to the Gulf coast. The only real warm day I've had since then even down here in southern TX was Saturday (18th). It's definitely harder for us to stay warm down here in these states whenever we have these extended cold periods because we're just not use to having to do that for more than a few days at a time most years. I'm personally going to welcome the returning warmth later this week. Even though it doesn't look like anything else like this (even Arctic air intrusions) is going to happen for the rest of the current season in these states, looking at longer range model data in February. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
andyhb Posted January 22 Share Posted January 22 Incredible, likely once-in-a-lifetime storm for the Gulf Coast here. New Orleans with 10", Lafayette with 10", places near Mobile AL and Pensacola with 8-10". Truly insane stuff. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Officially at the airport, the total was 8" That said, those 1895 records are apparently questionable at best per a tweet from the NWS New Orleans. Only thing we know for certain is this was their largest snowstorm in over 125 years (a lifetime). https://x.com/NWSNewOrleans/status/1881916506923213249?t=-9yQBzSyzobIFFrpxrquzw&s=19 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
