Wednesday Insights: Incredible Southern Snow Totals, Airport Delays & More Cape Cod Snow

From record-breaking snowfall in the Deep South to lingering ocean-effect snow on Cape Cod. Here’s the latest:

A historic winter storm delivered snow from Texas to Florida to the Carolinas, with totals that stunned locals:

• Milton, FL: 9.8 inches of snow— north-northeast of Pensacola!
• Baton Rouge, LA: Over 7 inches, a once-in-a-lifetime event for many.
• Cordell, GA: 9 inches of snow transformed the Peach State.

Travel disruptions remain widespread, with snow-covered roads and icy runways impacting Houston, Atlanta, and Charlotte.

Ocean-Effect Snow for Cape Cod

Back here at home, overnight snow left a dusting to an inch on parts of Cape Cod. Some ocean effect flurries or a brief snow shower today is possible, with another round of snow showers Thursday afternoon and evening, with localized totals near an inch possible in spots like Chatham and Nantucket. Watch for slick spots on untreated roads.

Chilly Days Ahead

The cold air gripping New England will persist through the week (though the heart of the coldest air for this round is done), with only brief moderations:

• Thursday Highs: 20s to low 30s, with teens in northern Maine.
• Thursday Night Lows: Single digits to teens for most, with sub-zero readings in northern Maine.
• Weekend Outlook: Temperatures remain below average but moderate slightly, with highs in the 30s on Sunday.

Expect a quick-moving disturbance Sunday to bring the chance of light snow, particularly in northern New England.
