My brother and SIL are in Hilton Head SC and got 2" - 3" of sleet right on the coast. He sent me pictures today and it looked like full winter smack down with palm fronds blowing in the background. Once in a lifetime event for so many people.
As a weather geek, I find it amazing what transpired yesterday in the deep south. Parishes in New Orleans got 6"+ of snow and parts of N Florida had 4-8" of snow with some wind swept powder. Incredible.
The friends and relatives I have in the deep south have said it’s incredible that there has been snow on the ground all day and now a night in the 20s.
