While Colorado experienced a stretch of below-freezing weather during the recent arctic blast, the surge of cold air also impacted much of the rest of the U.S. For places along the Gulf Coast, that came in the form of cold temperatures and historic snowfall.
Jim Emmett, a Northern Colorado resident, has had a family house in Magnolia Springs, Alabama, since the 1940s. He says he’s never seen anything like this in his lifetime.
“It’s been part of my life my entire life and I’ve never seen anything but a skiff of snow,” says Emmett.
