It’s not every day that snow makes the headlines in Florida, but today, residents of North Florida are preparing for a rare brush with winter weather.

With the chances of a historic Florida snow or ice storm inching upward, forecasters may issue a rare winter storm watch for a region more accustomed to squall lines and tropical threats.

Tuesday and Wednesday from Texas to Florida along the Gulf Coast will see extreme winter weather including snowfall and freezing rain. Significant snowfall and/or freezing rain accumulations can't be ruled out in Houston, New Orleans, and Tallahassee. pic.twitter.com/028Ndta2vl

I wouldn’t plan on any kind of travel from Tuesday night through the day Wednesday, no matter what kind of messy wintry mix we get.
