The Deep South of the United States is experiencing an unprecedented winter storm, resulting in severe disruptions across typically warmer states. States like Texas, Louisiana, Mississippi, Alabama, and Florida have declared emergencies due to record snowfall and icy conditions, leading to closed airports, highways, and schools. At least three fatalities have been reported. Despite the danger, locals have embraced the snow, engaging in snowball fights and building snowmen, underscoring the unusual nature of this winter event in regions unaccustomed to such weather.
With experts predicting this winter storm could break the 130-year-old record for snow fall in the area, schools and some workplaces were also closed.
Having covered Texas and the northern Gulf Coast with record-breaking snow, the major winter storm moved eastwards on Wednesday, causing governors in several states to declare states of emergency.
