A rare winter storm that hammered the Panhandle and beyond on Tuesday is likely to shatter the state record, once it’s made official.

Prior to that, the Milton Experimental Station recorded a historic snowfall 71 years ago; when Santa Rosa County set Florida's all-time 24-hour snowfall record with 4 inches, on March 6, 1954.

Not only did Florida get record snowfall, but it was colder in Pensacola this morning than it was in Anchorage, Alaska.

When you think about the Panhandle of Florida you think of Destin, Pensacola, 30A, and white sandy beaches. On Tuesday, those sandy beaches turned into white SNOWY beaches!
