Florida snow looks otherworldly. See the wildest photos on social media from the winter storm
Snow is falling in Florida as a "historic snowstorm" brings dangerous conditions across 1,000 miles of Interstate 10 from central Texas to northern Florida, according to AccuWeather. Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis declared a state of emergency Sunday ahead of what forecasters predict could be one of the Gulf Coast's worst storms in over a century.
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.
Ever wanted to see a gator basking under the gentle touch of a snowflake or orange trees blanketed in snow? It’s surreal and stunning. Sure, it’s a stark reminder of the existential climate crisis fueled by government inaction and corporate greed, but hey, at least it makes for some pretty wild visuals.
