Parts of Louisiana were also rendered immobile by the winter storm.
Local viewpoint:
Dylan Federico, a meteorologist with FOX 4, returned home on Monday to witness the unusual weather phenomenon firsthand. He is residing at his father’s home.
Dylan spent some time walking around the city while filming the snowstorm.
“It is fulfilling the expectations. “This is something I have never seen before,” he remarked. “The oaks. This street is lined with oak trees that are at least 200 or 300 years old.
As authorities urged people to stay at home and be safe, New Orleans’ highways were essentially abandoned.
If the weather cooperates, Dylan plans to return to Dallas by plane on Thursday.
Down here, we’re hunkered. “This house has gas heating and gas stoves,” he stated. “So even if the power goes out, we’ll be just fine.”
According to the NWS, Louisiana last had this kind of snow in 1960.
Next steps:
