Much of north Florida was shut down Wednesday after a winter storm blanketed the region in ice and snow. The state urged everyone to remain off the roads until it is safe to drive. However, that isn’t stopping people from making the most of the winter weather.

Freezing rain, sleet, snow and rain are expected Tuesday night into Wednesday to combine for a wintry mix that could disrupt daily life.

Tallahassee gets a trace of snow every now and again — in 2010 and 2004, for instance. But measurable snow has fallen only eight times since 1891.
