WINTER WONDERLAND: Snow covers Tallahassee
In Florida, the Panhandle experienced record-breaking snow, with Milton recording 8.8 inches, surpassing the previous state record of 4 inches set in 1954.
The storm has led to over 5,200 flight cancellations and numerous road closures across the affected regions, including I-10.
SLEDDING IN FLORIDA?!
Residents are encouraged to remain indoors and off the roadways to stay safe and allow for authorities to do their jobs by slowly clearing main roads.
The question is now what is next?
'NEVER SEEN SNOW, I'M A FLORIDIAN'
Arctic air continues to linger across the east and southeast. Over the next few days temperatures will warm above freezing into the 40s and some 50s. Overnight lows will return to the 20s and 30s, which will allow for refreezing. Black ice issues will be a concern on the roadways over the next several days.
Temperatures look to finally cooperate and warm up decently over the weekend to allow for some real clean up to occur!
Conditions will gradually improve, but it is best to remain safe and patient.
