This video shows snow showers in Pensacola Beach Palms as the rare winter storm hits Florida's Gulf Coast. A rare winter storm has hit the southern United States bringing widespread snowfall to areas like New Orleans, that hasn't seen snow in years.

Wind gusts as high as 22 mph on Friday could mean wind chill temperatures in the upper 30s in parts of Palm Beach County.

The snow that day had an icy reach as far south as Homestead Air Force Base — the farthest south snow has been recorded in the contiguous U.S. It spread west to Freeport on the island of Grand Bahama, which is the only instance of snow being observed in the history of the Bahamas, according to the Florida Climate Center.

Snow in the Sunshine State doesn't happen very often. But it did. And here are the photos from Pensacola to Yulee to prove it.

The "historic snowstorm" is expected to "spread dangerous snow and ice along I-10 from central Texas to northern Florida," according to AccuWeather.
