Sneaux next week [Historic snowstorm in southeast Louisiana on January 21, 2025] (3 Viewers)

Looking more and more like there won't be any snow here in central Louisiana. The accumulations keep dropping with each model run.

That works for me
We have to bus up to Natchitoches Thursday and with a bus full of kids I’d prefer that as stress free as possible

Woke up to 6" this morning and the high temp for the week is 25 so no melt off anytime soon .

Apple Weather had been steady with forecasts of four to five inches on snowfall in the New Orleans area tomorrow. Specifically, for all that snow to fall in about a 8-12 hour period.

This morning, they tweaked it slightly -- to five or six inches.

I'll believe it when I see it.

EDIT: I mean specifically New Orleans and the southshore suburbs -- when I say "New Orleans area", I don't mean Bogalusa, Folsom, Hammond, and all that.

When was the last time NO metro has seen 5-6" of snow? I remember dustings and light snow while living in Kenner brah.

Yeah my phone is showing the same. The heaviest snow will be on the southshore. 2-4 here in Biloxi.
None east of Pascagoula

Sounds like it could be historic.

Well be sure to stock up on milk, bread, and probably liquor of choice.

You'd have to go way back. I was only 22 months old when this storm hit. I obviously don;t remember
it. I have seen the photos my parents took. The snow covered my dads tires . New Orleans received
4 inches,so this one can be a record breaker

I was just coming to see if anyone mentioned this one and if anyone recalled it. It was before my time, but my parents talk about it now and then.

EDIT: Wait -- your link is not to the New Orleans part of this storm. Off to Google.

EDIT2: In New Orleans, it was New Years Eve 1963. Check out the beginning of this 1964 Sugar Bowl highlight's video -- the Tulane Stadium stands covered in snow:

You know you moved to New Hampshire, right?

My first viewing of my Louisiana husband's family's childhood photo book included picture after picture of them playing in a "snowstorm" in the '60s where there was still clearly grass poking through the snow. I laughed till I realized that this was indeed a rare occurrence. Growing up as a Yankee, dad didn't get the camera out for a snowstorm unless it was over our heads.

In New Orleans, it was New Years Eve 1963.

There's a lot less video online of this particular New Orleans snow event than I had thought. Peggy Scott Laborde had a little section about the 12/31/1963 snowstorm on one of her New Orleans WYES specials, but it requires a payment to view her documentaries online these days.

Here's a soundless video that WWL-TV hosts:

Yeah, my dad was at work . He told me around noon on New Years eve snow started blowing across Hyw 90.

The Gulfport Yacht club had a party. Those who attended were trapped until Jan 2nd. My former dentist
was one of those.
