Winter 2024-25 is halfway over: Which parts of US have seen the most snow so far?
Southern Surprises: In an unusual turn, New Orleans recorded 8 inches of snow since the start of meteorological winter, marking its snowiest day in over a century.
St. Bernard Parish reported even higher totals at 11.5 inches. These figures surpass those of cities like New York and Philadelphia during the same period
Northeast and Great Lakes: The interior Northeast faced hazardous conditions due to snow squalls, leading to whiteout scenarios and dangerous travel.
Regions from Pennsylvania to Maine were affected, with central New York, including Syracuse, experiencing significant snowfall.
Alaska's Anomaly: Anchorage reported only 3.8 inches of snow since December 1, nearly 2 feet below its typical average for this period. This is notably less than the snowfall in New Orleans during the same timeframe.
