A major storm spread heavy snow, sleet and freezing rain across parts of the Florida Panhandle, Georgia and the coastal Carolinas on Wednesday after breaking snow records in Texas and Louisiana, treating the region to unaccustomed perils and wintertime joy.
A major winter storm that slammed Texas and blanketed the northern Gulf Coast with record-breaking snow moved east Wednesday, spreading heavy snow, sleet and freezing rain across parts of the Florida Panhandle, Georgia and eastern Carolinas.
It has been 35 years for Jacksonville, and the weather service in Houston said it was the most significant winter storm in the area since at least 1960. The storm's impact will be felt for days in Southern cities not accustomed to the deep freeze that has gripped most of the nation this week.
