Extremely Rare South Texas Snow a First Since Christmas 2004

At a Glance

Much of Deep South Texas saw its first accumulating snow since Christmas 2004.
Before 2004, some of these areas hadn't seen measurable snow in decades.
Winter Storm Benji was also one of the heaviest December storms on record in the Deep South.
Snow fell in many locations along the Gulf Coast, including the Florida Panhandle.

A bizarre, first-in-over-a decade snow blanketed parts of southern Texas late Thursday into Friday, then spread its snow into the Deep South and Gulf Coast, including parts of the Florida panhandle.
