A historic winter storm in south Alabama on Tuesday broke Mobile’s 130-year-old snowfall record and brought a rarely seen covering of snow to the beaches of Gulf Shores. But while it gave folks in Mobile an exceedingly uncommon opportunity to build snowmen, it also caused more than a few problems around the state.

Seeing snow, and this much of it at that is a weather miracle for Lafayette, Chalmette, and Gulf Shores, Alabama. The Gulf Coast is seeing record-breaking snowfall across the board that people will reminisce about in the years to come.
