A major winter storm brought blizzard conditions to Louisiana on Tuesday, turning New Orleans into a snow town. The record-breaking snowstorm blanketed palm trees in fresh flakes and halted the normally bustling Big Easy.

The powerful and deadly winter storm swept across the South on Tuesday, dumping heavy snow across areas that rarely see flakes or bitterly cold conditions. The storm prompted the National Weather Service to issue the first-ever Blizzard Warning for southwest Louisiana and southeast Texas.

New Orleans shattered its one-day snow total record by noon when Louis Armstrong New Orleans International Airport recorded 4 inches of snow. The new record breaks the Dec. 31, 1963 record of 2.7 inches, and the snow was still coming down Tuesday afternoon.

By morning, a layer of powder covered Canal Street and the Central Business District, turning New Orleans into a snow panorama.

LiveNOW's Andy Mac spoke about the snowstorm with FOX News' Bowen Kedrowicz.

Snow is just another form of precipitation, here in Detroit the storms fall just to the north and just to the south, droughty sucks!

It does indeed occasionally snow in the south. We may not handle it as well as northerners (Henry Cho famously quipped that Texas closes the schools if we even predict snow), but it happens.
