The Most Hilarious Photos And Videos Of Southerners Experiencing Once-In-A-Lifetime Snowstorm
The unexpected snowstorm that swept through parts of southern US has completely flipped the script!
Texans are having snowball fights while Floridians are making snowmen, as the landscapes turned into beautiful winter wonderlands.
“This is a once-in-a-lifetime event for a lot of these folks down there. For kids that have never had snowball fights … they’re going to have one,” said Tom Kines, a meteorologist at the private weather company AccuWeather.
Here’s how Southerners made the most of the snow in the most Southern way possible!

#2 Florida Went From Suncreens To Snowmen
When the snowstorm hit the Sunshine State, many Floridians didn’t make a run for their shovel. Instead, they decided to make wonderful little shapes and sculptures out of them.
It was a scene rarely expected from a place known for its sunshine and sandy beaches.
