Multiple parts of Florida are seeing snow as a winter storm makes its way across the Gulf Coast. On Monday, Jan. 20, Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis declared a state of emergency ahead of dangerously cold wind chills and prolonged freezing and sub-freezing temperatures.

Many around Northeast Florida and Southeast Georgia woke up to winter conditions Wednesday morning. As the First Alert Weather Team has been saying for the last couple of weeks, the rare winter artic blast was going to cover parts of our area with snow and ice.

In the wake of this rare snowfall, it's transformed the Sunshine State into an otherworldly winter wonderland, and social media is buzzing with stunning photos of icy beaches, snow-dusted palm trees, and surreal frozen landscapes.
