The January 20–22, 2025 Gulf Coast blizzard was an exceptionally rare and historic winter storm and blizzard that impacted the Gulf Coast of the United States. It brought snowfall to regions of the Gulf Coast that rarely receive wintry precipitation. This historic event was the first recorded blizzard to ever impact the Gulf Coast region and the most significant winter storm in the region since 1895.

Meteorological history

Early on January 21, a low pressure area was located in the western Gulf of Mexico, connected to a cold front. Fueled by an Arctic cold front moving through the southern United States, the low produced an area of snowfall, sleet, and freezing rain across the United States Gulf Coast from Texas to Florida. The Weather Prediction Center (WPC) described it as an "impactful, rare winter storm".

Preparations and impact

Warnings issued by NWS Lake Charles due to the storm
 Blizzard Warning
 Winter Storm Warning
 Winter Weather Advisory
 Freeze Warning
 Small Craft Advisory

Texas

Ahead of the storm, state agencies mobilized resources in advance of the winter weather. Airports near Houston, Texas halted their flights on January 19 due to the storm. The Electric Reliability Council of Texas (ERCOT) said they had made preparations in order to avoid a situation similar to the 2021 crisis. Houston Mayor John Whitmire said crews had begun pre-treating roadways ahead of the storm.

Snowfall in eastern New Caney, Texas during 12 p.m. on January 21.

Freezing rain and snow took place in the Houston area which had started on the evening of January 20 and continued into January 21, with up to 3 inches (7.6 cm) of snow falling near Liberty. "Multiple" people were killed in a multi-car pileup in southwestern Texas. Space Center Houston was closed during the storm, including all tours on the ground. Many major roadways in Houston had snow and ice accumulation on them by early morning on January 21, which led to dozens of road closures. Two more people died, one in a crash on January 19 in Harris County after her car collided head-on with a tractor trailer and a homeless man was found dead the following morning in Katy. An estimated 1,100 people stayed at county-run shelters during the winter storm. The majority of flights from Houston airports were cancelled; rendering them unavailable. Beaumont set an all time monthly record low of 11 °F (−12 °C) for January.

Louisiana

Blizzard conditions in Carlyss, Louisiana on January 21.

For the first time on record, the National Weather Service issued a blizzard warning for parts of southwestern Louisiana, including Cameron and Calcasieu parishes, due to heavy snowfall and winds exceeding 35 mph (56 km/h). Snowfall totaled 11.5 in (290 mm) near Chalmette. Nearby, New Orleans recorded 10 in (250 mm) of snowfall. New record low temperatures were set in Lafayette, New Iberia at 4 °F (−16 °C) and 2 °F (−17 °C) respectively. Baton Rouge and Lake Charles also set a monthly all time record low of 7 °F (−14 °C) and 6 °F (−14 °C) for January respectively.

The heavy snowfall and icy conditions led to the closure of major highways, including Interstate 10, causing significant disruptions to transportation. Most flights in and out of Louis Armstrong New Orleans Airport as well.

Alabama

Snowfall in Babbie reached 11 in (280 mm), while Mobile Regional Airport recorded 7.5 in (190 mm) of snowfall. This broke the most snowfall in the latter city, breaking the record of 6 in (150 mm) set in 1895.

Georgia

Governor Brian Kemp warned on January 21 that the storm could "wreck havoc" on the Atlanta due to its unpredictable nature and shifting more north then initially projected. Many schools across the state closed early in advance of the storm. One death has been reported due to cold temperatures. Atlanta recorded 1.1 in (28 mm) of snow, marking its second 1 inch+ snowfall in less than 2 weeks after nearly 7 years without receiving an inch of snow, also making this a top 10 snowiest winter on record. Areas north and west of the city received little to no precipitation and thus no impacts, while areas of the city, DeKalb, Gwinnett, South Fulton and Clayton counties had major traffic jams and hundreds of cars stranded on iced over streets. The previous Winter Weather Advisory was upgraded to a Winter Storm Warning as snow was falling, and Hartsfield-Jackson International Airport was placed on a ground stop.

Florida

Snowfall in Century, Florida on January 22.

On January 20th, the Florida Governor, Ron DeSantis, declared a state of emergency for the incoming winter weather. The Florida House of Representatives and Senate cancelled all of the committee meetings that were scheduled to occur during the week of January 20. Tallahassee International Airport cancelled all remaining flights after 3 p.m. local time on January 21.

By late on January 21, Milton recorded 8.8 in (220 mm) of snowfall. This was more than twice the highest amount of snowfall ever recorded in the state in a single storm.

The Carolinas
