21 Hilarious Posts Capture Southerners Having Snow Much Fun In “Once-In-A-Lifetime” Storm

United States Louisiana Florida Houston New Orleans Hockey

The unexpected snowstorm that swept through parts of the southern US has completely flipped the script!

Texans are having snowball fights while Floridians are making snowmen, as the landscapes turned into beautiful winter wonderlands.

“This is a once-in-a-lifetime event for a lot of these folks down there. For kids that have never had snowball fights … they’re going to have one,” said Tom Kines, a meteorologist at the private weather company AccuWeather.

Here’s how Southerners made the most of the snow in the most Southern way possible!

#1 Florida Went From Suncreens To Snowmen

When the snowstorm hit the Sunshine State, many Floridians didn’t make a run for their shovel. Instead, they decided to make wonderful little shapes and sculptures out of it.

It was a scene rarely expected from a place known for its sunshine and sandy beaches.

#2 Big Feelings Came With A Teeny Bit Of Snow

Keeping up with some of the dramatic overreactions to the snowfall, one Texan humorously captured the image of a light dusting of snow on the ground.

“We will rebuild,” read the text on the image, as a measuring tape failed to register a whole inch of snow.

#3 “Snowmageddon” Surprised The Sunshine State

#4 The South’s Creative, Can-Do Attitude Shone Through

Of course, snow chains are a common household item for residents who live in areas where blizzard warnings are common. But for the southerns, it was time to get creative with snow chains for their wheels.

“Get those Louisiana snow tires ready, y'all!” photographer David Nola said as he geared up for the snowflake season.
