Compared to areas of similar latitude, Southern Louisiana is extraordinarily brown in the winter? Why is this?


What other areas are you referring to here?

Charleston is more north of 99% maybe 100% of Louisiana, look at a map lol

Are you serious, south LA parallels to Florida, south Texas, it’s further south than Savannah, Gulfport, and Mobile, and the Florida panhandle!!

LOL, latitude doesn't really factor into this like you believe. Moreover, there are areas of Louisiana that have similar weather as South Carolina's low country.

The areas of Florida and Texas you referenced are similar to the North Shore of New Orleans in that there are a lot of pine forests. Other coastal areas in the region look the same as Louisiana and Charleston for that matter in that they are not dominated by pine trees.

The whole state is really bleak in winter. Lots of overcast and dark days. However, South La (and parts of CenLa) starts sprouting flowers and vivid colors early, which is awesome.

This thread is racist. I don't know why but it just is.

So you are asking why do the trees in Louisiana do what happens in other places? I think it’s because they have the same types of trees as other places

Idk maybe if you actually lived hear for longer than a year you would know that it looks like this every year during a freeze...
