We've named hurricanes since the 1950s, and naming weather systems goes back hundreds of years. Buy why not winter storms?

A major winter storm slammed the southern US Tuesday, blanketing parts of the Gulf Coast with record-breaking snowfall in a region largely unaccustomed to extreme winter weather.

Winter storm warnings are in place in several states with heavy snow, freezing rain and dangerously cold temperatures expected.

Lingering frigid conditions could continue to disrupt the South in cities not accustomed to the deep freeze that has gripped much of the nation.

An historic January storm dumped more deep snow along the U.S. Gulf Coast on Wednesday after bringing Houston and New Orleans to a near standstill over the past two days and burying parts of Florida's Panhandle with accumulations more typical of Chicago.

Snow fell all over the Augusta area along with many other parts of Georgia on Tuesday. How much? How does this compare to the Jan. 10 winter storm?

A cold front is bringing freezing temperatures and hazardous conditions to millions across the country this month.

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

A historic winter storm in south Alabama on Tuesday broke Mobile’s 130-year-old snowfall record and brought a rarely seen covering of snow to the beaches of Gulf Shores. But while it gave folks in Mobile an exceedingly uncommon opportunity to build snowmen, it also caused more than a few problems around the state.

The heavy snow, sleet and freezing rain hitting parts of the Deep South came as a blast of Arctic air plunged much of the Midwest and the eastern US into a deep freeze.

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

Here's a snow map for the history books. The Jan. 21-22, 2025 Gulf Coast blizzard produced 8 inches of snow or more in six states: Louisiana, Mississippi, Alabama, Florida, Georgia, and North Carolina. There was a storm maximum of around a foot near New Orleans. pic.twitter.com/s91yvXewiP
