Snow blankets the Florida Panhandle as a major winter storm creates hazardous road conditions and record-setting cold temperatures.

Cold air behind the front will flow down into the Florida Panhandle. This colder air will mix with precipitation located along the boundary front and could result in snow in parts of North Florida, including the state capitol of Tallahassee. The snowfall is expected to be isolated to a few hours on Sunday, mid-to-late morning.
