Florida is in the rare position of being able to say they have more snow than Massachusetts. In the recent s nowfall on Sunday into Monday, Boston received 5 inches of snow, according to the National Weather Service. Ashburnham and Holden, both in Central Massachusetts, had reports of 7 inches and 7.5 inches of snow.

The National Weather Service just dropped updated snowfall totals, with Milton now up to 9.8 inches. This will be the final total and, if verified, may stand as the new Florida state record for snowfall. A previous record was 4 inches, also set in Milton in 1954.

Pensacola had official total of 7.6 inches, while Milton hit 8.8. Unofficial totals by Weather Service could be as high as 9.8 inches.

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

Meteorologists were left speechless Tuesday as record amounts of snow fell along the Gulf Coast. Here’s why it was so snowy.

A winter storm sweeping through the U.S. South on Tuesday was dumping snow at levels millions of residents haven’t seen before

For example, Lake Charles, La., along the Gulf Coast, showed snowfall rates of over 1 inch per hour this morning and early afternoon and visibility down to a quarter of a mile with blowing snow. This is one of the reasons why blizzard warnings were posted briefly for that region earlier.

Louisiana, Texas, Mississippi, Alabama, Georgia, and even Florida are seeing snowfall as a powerful blast of Arctic air mixed with Gulf moisture works its way across the Southeast.
