ORLANDO, Fla. – Well, it happened again. Snow fell in Florida for a second year in a row.
Snow in Florida is rare on its own, but back-to-back years make it especially unusual.
Parts of the Panhandle saw snow again on Jan. 18, following a notable snowfall in early 2025, marking a rare consecutive-year event for the state.
The National Weather Service reported that as of 5:53 a.m., Pensacola International Airport measured 0.09 inches of snow over a six-hour period, around the same time of year as last winter’s event in the Mobile–Pensacola area.
Last year’s storm was historic. On Jan. 21, 2025, a major winter storm turned the northern Gulf Coast into a winter wonderland.
Pensacola shattered its previous two-day snowfall record, measuring an incredible 8.9 inches of snow. That easily topped the former record of 3.0 inches set during the February snowstorm of 1895.
