Snowmen in Alabama? Sledding in Mississippi? From Texas to Georgia, snow blankets the South

ATLANTA. Snow blanketed a vast swath of the Deep South on Friday, triggering a flurry of winter weather warnings that closed businesses and schools, canceled hundreds of flights and caused traffic gridlock. It also unleashed a flurry of snowman construction and sledding in places more accustomed to sunshine than snow.

The storm dropped a rare coating of snow as far south as Brownsville, Texas - near the border of Mexico - up through southern Louisiana and parts of Mississippi, Alabama, Georgia and the southern Appalachians.

"This is an unusual event - to see snow falling this early in the season all the way from Texas and the Gulf Coast region to Georgia," said Laura Pagano, a meteorologist with the National Weather Service's Atlanta/Peachtree City office. "It has happened before, but not often."

More than 200,000 customers across the region lost power as snow downed branches and power lines.

There's room in the hay barn for you next to the feral kitty that just showed up last month.

We got about 4 inches in S.E. Louisiana. Melting today. Roads will probably be very icy tonight as the freezing temps come back in overnight. Currently 41 but dips back down to 27 degrees tonight.

I’ve been to Ocala, lots of horses. That was pretty normal looking.

There must be someplace near the coast in MS or AL that’s not too whacked out.

Al Gore has lost his shockra. Quick. Send more masseuses. When has the deep state been right about anything. Global warming on a Planet in an Ice Age ? Laughably ridiculous.

There's money in Ocala. Lot's of horse ranches.

Kentucky Derby winner recently was bred and trained at a farm in Ocala.

No, for much of the south, this snow event is only more likely than a hurricane making landfall in Los Angeles, Ca.
