snow 🌨

When we left for Chicago, our yard and patio were covered with snow. When we got home, the only evidence of the big snowfall was a pile that was slowly melting on the patio. Monday's 60° F (15.5° C) melted every last bit of the white stuff.

The last winter when every state received snow was 15 years ago in February 2010.

The January 20–22, 2025 Gulf Coast blizzard brought snowfall to regions of the Gulf Coast that rarely receive wintry precipitation. This was the first recorded blizzard on the Gulf Coast and the most significant winter storm in the region since 1895. The Gulf Blizzard of 2025 will go down in history as one of the most unusual and impactful winter storms the Southeast has ever seen. It caused major disruptions, canceled flights, and closed schools. But it also gifted Southerners with an unforgettable taste of deep-south powder—proving that Mother Nature is still the one in charge.
