The heaviest snowfall in the Sunshine State occurred around Pensacola, where spotters reported measuring amounts of 5 to 12 inches through Tuesday evening. Due to the hazardous weather and a series of crashes, a nearly 70-mile stretch of Interstate 10 was shut down by the Florida Highway Patrol.

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

Florida Governor Ron DeSantis has declared a state of emergency across Florida in response to an impending winter storm expected to bring snow, sleet, and freezing rain to parts of the state, including the Panhandle and North Florida.
