See 10 Gulf Coast Cities Blanketed With More Snow Than Most Of New York

January's polar plunge has reached down to the deep south, flipping the script on winter in the United States.

As far as the weather, January is quickly turning into bizarro world. Yes, it has been extremely cold here in New York which is nothing earth-shattering for this time of year. We are used to it.

But when frigid temperatures hit the southern states, it is a rare & unique weather event. And then when snowfalls are bigger than what we have seen locally in New York? It is truly an extreme and unique weather event.

Gulf Coast Sees Once In A Lifetime, Record Snowfall

As a deep freeze plunged across the United States, the Gulf Coast got hit with a huge rarity: a SIZEABLE snowfall!

According to CBS News areas along the Florida panhandle and Louisiana broke longstanding, all-time snowfall records on Tuesday from what is now being called the "Gulf Blizzard of 2025." For example, New Orleans got 10 inches of snow. You know, the same New Orleans that will host this Superbowl in 2 weeks. They host it there to GET AWAY from winter weather!

What makes this even more bizarre is that many of these southern cities and towns currently have more snow on the ground than Upstate New York! If you take a look at New York snow depth maps, outside of the North Country and Western NY, most areas Upstate currently have a snow depth maybe a few to 6 or 7 inches.
