The state of Louisiana and the southeastern United States in general are typically not known for their snowfall, nevermind getting significant amounts of it. However on Tuesday, Jan. 21, that was most certainly a notation that was turned on its head, as New Orleans received eight inches of snow before noon according to Louis Armstrong International Airport, and in some areas near a foot of snow.
This is completely unprecedented, however, for many it was a day of fun and enjoyment as they had the chance to go outside and enjoy the snowfall, as it was the first significant appearance of snow in Louisiana since 2021. The state also issued its first-ever blizzard warnings, with many roads eventually being closed due to the occurrence.
Here are some notable posts from around social media about the snow and the winter fun that was had:

I’m still in disbelief this happened. Here it is. Timelapse of historic New Orleans snow storm. Snow got up to 12 inches on my snowboard in the French Quarter. pic.twitter.com/M9byQeZJGL
