Tuesday’s snowfall in Northern Florida wasn’t just rare—it was record-breaking. The Panhandle saw unprecedented amounts of snow, with Milton recording 9.8 inches, Pace 9 inches, Molina 9.5 inches, and Pensacola Beach 7.5 inches. These totals more than doubled Florida’s previous 24-hour snowfall record of 4 inches, set in 1954.
The storm was unusual not only for its heavy snow but also for its sleet and freezing rain, a combination rarely seen in the Sunshine State.
As the storm subsides, a dangerous cold front follows. Sub-freezing temperatures and frigid windchills are expected Wednesday night, affecting areas from the Texas-Louisiana border through the Florida Panhandle and up to the Delmarva Peninsula.
This extreme weather highlights the rarity and intensity of winter storms in the region, leaving residents bracing for the cold after a historic snow day.
