Multiple parts of Florida are seeing snow as a winter storm makes its way across the Gulf Coast. On Monday, Jan. 20, Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis declared a state of emergency ahead of dangerously cold wind chills and prolonged freezing and sub-freezing temperatures.

While it's not clear what impact a mix of rain, freezing rain, sleet and snow may have on the capital city, officials say now is the time to begin preparations.

Pensacola awoke to subfreezing temperatures for the second day in a row as a “significant winter storm” began to roll into the area on Tuesday with the potential to cause extensive damage to property and public infrastructure.
