While we wait for the snow to accumulate in Pensacola, here's a brief look back at some snow history for the area.

The Gulf Coast is digging out from a once-in-a-lifetime snowstorm that struck from Texas to Florida, closing airports and crippling roadways.

Pensacola isn’t out of the thick of it just yet. The National Weather Service extended its extreme cold warning for Northwest Florida from 9 p.m. Wednesday to 9 a.m. Thursday. Wednesday and Thursday are expected to be dry, which means we probably won’t see any new snow while temperatures continue to dip below freezing.

Florida saw the most snowfall in its history Tuesday, as a rare and deadly winter storm walloped the Gulf Coast and Southeast. The heaviest snow occurred around Pensacola, where 9 inches had fallen. That’s more than double the Sunshine State’s previous record.

The rare winter storm that hit the southern U.S. dumped significant amounts of snow on areas that usually get none.

Pensacola awoke to subfreezing temperatures for the second day in a row as a “significant winter storm” began to roll into the area.

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.

Dangerous below-freezing temperatures with even colder wind chills were also expected to last over much of the week in the region.

A powerful and rare winter storm swept across the South on Tuesday, bringing the first-ever Blizzard Warning to the Gulf Coast and blasting communities from Texas to Florida to the Carolinas with record-shattering snow that snarled travel and brought daily life to a halt.

As of Wednesday morning, Mobile, Alabama, recorded a total of 7.5 inches of snow, surpassing the previous record of 3.6 inches set in 1973. Pensacola got a record 7.6 inches of snow, beating its previous record of 3 inches reported in 1895, according to USA Today.

Sun-soaked Florida and other parts of the South appear to have shattered snowfall records in what many are calling a once-in-a-lifetime chance to witness sandy snowscapes on beaches, of all places.
