Forecasters said it was too early to tell whether the ice and snow would approach or beat Tallahassee’s all-time snowfall record of 2.8 inches set in 1958.

NEW ORLEANS (AP) — A major winter storm that slammed Texas and blanketed the northern Gulf Coast with record-breaking snow moved east Wednesday, spreading heavy snow, sleet and freezing rain across parts of the Florida Panhandle, Georgia and eastern Carolinas.

Parts of northern Florida received inches of snow overnight as a strong winter front moved in. Many areas continue to deal with the impacts of an Arctic blast. Snow and ice have fallen in areas along I-10 near Tallahassee. People in Florida are among the millions in the South who are feeling the effects.
