PENSACOLA, Florida - Light snow fell around 4 a.m. Sunday across the Florida Panhandle in places like Pensacola, Crestview, and DeFuniak Springs, coating roads, medians on Interstate 10, and even the 'Welcome to Florida' sign. 1/18 8:25 AM ET: Snow is quickly ending from Ozark to DeFuniak Springs. Moderate to briefly heavy snow continues from near Ebro, FL up to Dawson, GA moving east-northeast. Some flakes may mix in ahead of this band.
