Much of Louisiana experienced record-breaking cold temperatures and icy conditions last month, and New Orleans even saw two very light dustings of snow this winter.
Snowfall in the city is rare, but there have been a few memorable snow events as seen in the slideshow here from The Historic New Orleans Collection.
Eight inches fell over two days in 1895; an inch and a half covered the ground on February 12, 1958; on New Year’s Eve 1963, 4.5 inches blanketed the city; and New Orleans experienced a white Christmas in 2004, when an inch and a half fell.
