Snow... In New Orleans? And A Cold Snap Update

We've sure seen some interesting weather lately... but I think the people of New Orleans probably take the cake in the category of "strangeness." They saw snow today that totaled up to abour SIX inches in some portions of Louisiana! Crazy. I know it's not impossible, but I haven't ever heard of that much snow down that far south.

Here is a picture sent in to KDLT:

I used this to "trick" my co-anchors for the 6pm show tonight. If you don't know any better it looks like any house anywhere, Minnesota, South Dakota, Iowa... Louisiana?

Cold Snap Update...

We really only need to show you one graphic to really depict our big "cooldown" that is coming toward the end of the weekend. It is BIG! We are likely going to see temperatures falling all day long in the Sioux Falls area from a start potentially around 30 degrees to a finish that should put us around ZERO! We might even be below zero by the time you go to bed Sunday.

Look at what the statistical models think highs will be Sunday:

Notice the 25 degree BELOW ZERO temperature over Montana. Now, those temperatures aren't necessarily what we'll see or they'll see, but it'll definitely be somewhere in that neighborhood.

Have a great night!
