New Orleans residents got to witness a rare snowfall due to Winter Storm Enzo. The storm did halt much of the activity across the Louisiana city, but many people did not miss out on the opportunity to experience the snow-clad streets.

Nuns and priest at a church in New Orleans were seen enjoying the snow in Louisiana on Tuesday as a frigid storm charged through the northern Gulf Coast.

By noon, the National Weather Service had reported about 4 inches of snow in New Orleans. The storm prompted the first ever blizzard warnings for several coastal counties near the Texas-Louisiana border, and snow plows were at the ready in the Florida Panhandle, according to the Associated Press.

A rare, historic snowfall blanketed parts of the southern U.S. on Tuesday, allowing residents to play in the rather unusual weather. Families went snow tubing in Houston. People made snowballs and snow angels. People were even seen skiing on Bourbon Street.

A major winter storm that slammed Texas and the northern Gulf Coast is spreading heavy snow, sleet and freezing rain across parts of the Florida panhandle and eastern Carolinas.
