Sneaux next week [Historic snowstorm in southeast Louisiana on January 21, 2025] (24 Viewers)

[Infoman]

Just ended here on the NortShow... I have measured about a foot high pile of snow on some of my lawn furniture.

There's so much snow and it's still coming down.. peak fun has already been reached,.. this is now just a lot forking snow!

And -- at least in SE Louisiana -- it will remain cold enough for about the next ~40 hours that the snow will stick around for two or three days. I'm not even sure the low-40s temps on Thursday will melt it all the way down, though it's supposed to be sunny. Might not be gone-gone until Friday.

Multiply this incident by about 100.
That's what tomorrow may be like.

Oof -- you're right.

At least in the NOLA area ... the roads absolutely won't be in shape to drive at any point tomorrow. Assuming we're not getting any plows from anywhere.

High 36 tomorrow in Pensacola.. 45 Thursday and Friday... can't possibly do anything tomorrow.

Expecting to see one in a canal here pretty soon.

WWL says 9.5 inches in Mid-City which is essentially my neighborhood. I thought it looked like that much but the TV kept saying NOLA got 5 inches. Nice to have confirmation. At that's at 2:00. It's still going and might continue for another hour or so as of about 5:00.

I left a small patio table out in the snowfall to see how much snow would accumulate during the storm.
Zoom in to read the total.

Is this a trick?

Same here 12 inches on the top of both cars. This ain't melting quickly

Thinking on this some more ... I'll lay my chips on Saturday, early afternoon. There's a lot of accumulation to clear out -- I can see some icy/snowy nooks and crannies lasting into the weekend. Saturday highs are supposed to be north of 65F, so that will certainly finish off the rest of it.

EDIT: What faceman just said.

They need to take these readings again at sunset.

Maybe Gretna close to the river got somewhat less ... but where I'm at on the other side of the Expressway, we're pushing 10 inches. Still snowing, too.

About 8" of accumulation so far at Casa de Custer. No way is this going away quickly.

So, you’re saying it’s in your front yard?

In my dreams, sure.
