According WEATHER.COM … “Tuesday’s (Jan 21, 2025) rare, historic winter storm along the Gulf Coast has clinched all 50 states seeing accumulating snow this winter, while also creating an upside-down pattern where some cities in the South have now seen more snowfall than northern ones.
Florida is the hardest state to see accumulating snowfall, but a preliminary state record was set Tuesday. Multiple locations reported over 8 inches of snow in the state’s northwest Panhandle. The standing state 24-hour record going into this winter was 4 inches, which was set in Milton on March 6, 1954.
Those totals will likely be reviewed by NOAA’s State Climate Extremes Committee at a future date to confirm a new state 24-hour record was set in the storm.
Official storm totals in Lafayette and New Orleans, Louisiana, Mobile, Alabama, and Pensacola, Florida, are greater than what New York City, Philadelphia, Salt Lake City, Omaha, Nebraska, and Sioux Falls, South Dakota have seen since fall.”
