Yea, I think so. None of the old people I've talked with have ever seen anywhere near this much

It’s been snowing hard in my area of Lafayette since around 8am. We have over a foot. My raised garden beds that are one foot high are completely buried. It’s still going strong.

This is definitely the most snow we've had in my life in the BR metro. The one in 2017 wasn’t anywhere close to this at our house.


Yep. This is double what I got in 2017.

Zack Fradella doing some wishcasting quote:HISTORIC WINTER STORM coming for the Gulf Coast. From Houston to Florida, it’s going to snow - A LOT. The snowstorm will develop in the early morning hours Tuesday and continue for most of the day. Expect precipitation to start as a mix and then flip to all snow. Where we get those snow bands, the intensity of the snow could be over an inch an hour. Winds will also be gusty making for white out conditions at times. This is something we’ve not experienced in our lifetime, it will rival the epic Gulf Coast Snowstorm of 1895. Please understand the urgency that the cold will be dangerous, travel will be impossible and tree branches will snap from the weight of the snow. I know snow can be so fun but be safe! Stay home, watch those trees around your house, keep the pets warm and keep your pipes protected. The storm’s impacts will last multiple days! We may have to shelter-in-place for at least 48 hours Tuesday-Thursday. Here is my latest forecast thinking for totals. Of course the numbers can be higher or lower for certain locations.


The man should take a bow.

I don't know if we got 12.5" but nobody still alive today was here for that. I'd bet this might end up being #2 all time though.

Dogs are crazy…husky/heeler mix who has never seen snow is in heaven. Kids have been outside all day. Gumbo on the stove. Not bad as long as the power stays on
