WESH 2 has a crew chasing the snow, headed toward Chipley, Florida, where First Warning Meteorologist Eric Burris has confirmed it’s snowing there as well.
Models still vary regarding total snowfall accumulation, but what the models do agree on is the location where snow is most likely to fall. Residents and travelers can expect flurries inland and north of Interstate 10, Jackson County, specifically Marianna.
WESH 2’s Jesse Pagan was live from Marianna on Sunday.

This isn’t the first time it has snowed in Florida. There have been more than 80 instances of snowfall in Florida documented since 1886. In Jan. 2025, the panhandle was hit with a state record-breaking 8 to 10 inches of snow.
The last time snow fell in Central Florida was back in Dec. 1989, when a dusting of up to 1 inch of snow fell along the Interstate 4 corridor.
