North Florida residents from Pensacola to Jacksonville are bracing for what is expected to be a historic, once-in-a-lifetime winter storm.

The heaviest snowfall in the Sunshine State occurred around Pensacola, where spotters reported measuring amounts of 5-12 inches through Tuesday evening.

Not only did Florida get record snowfall, but it was colder in Pensacola this morning than it was in Anchorage, Alaska.

The winter storm that crossed the Gulf coast and landed in Florida earlier this week is one for the record books, smashing the previous all-time high for snowfall in the Sunshine State.

Gov. Ron DeSantis declared a State of Emergency in Florida on Monday afternoon in anticipation of what some meteorologists warn could be the storm of the century.

Snow. In Florida. Yes, really! Early on Tuesday, January 21, 2025, around 2 a.m., snow surprised everyone. From snowflakes on Pensacola Beach to 10 inches of snow in Milton, Floridians woke up to something they’d never expect—snow everywhere!

Snow in the Sunshine State doesn't happen very often. But it did. And here are the photos from Pensacola to Yulee to prove it.

Here’s where snow fell in Florida, how much snow the Sunshine State got this week and what the coldest day in Florida history was.

The counties on the First Coast that recorded the highest snowfall totals between Tuesday morning and Wednesday morning are Ware, Glynn and Nassau.

For the first time in seven years, the National Weather Service issued a Winter Storm Warning for Florida. Here's what that means for Jacksonville.

Snow fell in Florida's panhandle on Tuesday & Wednesday, blanketing roads, closing businesses and schools. Florida residents who had a rare snow day were seen in photos and videos making snowmen and having snowball fights. Meteorologists say the snow may stick around until Wednesday, but won't reach Tampa.

While the snow may be over, the cold isn't, and that brings another hazard to Florida motorists not used to driving in snow and ice.
