Powerful Southeast Storm Brings Snow to Houston, New Orleans
A powerful low pressure system is making its way across the Southeast US today, bringing rain and flooding to parts of Georgia and Alabama, and rare snow to Houston and New Orleans. Here’s a satellite picture of the storm taken about 11:15 this morning:
It’s the first time there’s been snow in Houston or New Orleans since Christmas Eve, 2004. About an inch of snow fell in New Orleans, although three inches fell in Baton Rough and five inches was reported north of Lake Pontchartrain. Parts of Mississippi reported between two and four inches of snowfall.
Metro Atlanta received more rain this morning, mostly on the order of 2/3 of an inch. However there is still a chance for additional precipitation as the upper low moves just north of Atlanta later today.
