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

The freak winter storm that swept snow, ice and sleet across North Florida brought some records colds with it. Here's a city-by-citty breakdown.

Pensacola beat the old record of 3 inches. Icy conditions will bring dangerous roads across the Panhandle and North Florida on Wednesday morning. The front loses its speed over the Peninsula. Here's your forecast.

The Florida panhandle is right in the path of a wintry weather storm. Governor Ron DeSantis declared a state of emergency as the frigid temperatures took over.

While the snow may be over, the cold isn't, and that brings another hazard to Florida motorists not used to driving in snow and ice.

Florida A&M University (FAMU) and Florida State University (FSU) will cancel classes and suspend normal operations on Tuesday, Jan. 21, and Wednesday, Jan. 22, due to expected wintry precipitation and ice,

“North winds 25 to 30 knots with gusts up to 45 knots. Seas 7 to 10 feet, occasionally to 13 feet,” the NWS marine forecast from Fernandina Beach south to St. Augustine said. “Intracoastal waters very rough. Showers. Freezing rain after midnight.”

Snow in Florida is quite rare but not unheard of. The last time parts of the Sunshine State picked up a dusting of snow was back in 2018. Tonight's storm will bring a lot more than a dusting, even rivaling the winter storm of 1989, which blanketed north Florida with snow and ice days before Christmas.

In Florida, winter storm and freeze warnings both remain in place, and snow also is expected today. Today, expect rainy and overcast conditions for Central Florida, with temperatures well below normal. Be sure to have an extra layer on, and keep the umbrella handy.

I prepped for Tallahassee’s impending winter storm with the leisurely pace and skepticism of a South Florida native who had made it to 27 years old without ever seeing real snow.

Snow in the Sunshine State doesn't happen very often. But it did. And here are the photos from Pensacola to Yulee to prove it.

The last time Central Florida saw freezing temperatures was Christmas Day 2022, sinking to nearly 30 in some areas and causing sleet in Brevard County. Thursday’s high temperature in Orlando is expected to reach 53 with a low of 38.
