A nasty winter storm in the southern U.S. dumped as much as 8 inches of snow in New Orleans on Tuesday. That not only crushed records for the city, but it’s more snow than some areas of New Jersey have gotten this entire winter season.

While Milwaukee's snowfall has lagged, other areas of the country, especially southern states along the Gulf Coast, had a rare winter snowstorm this week. And because of earlier snowstorms through the mid-south, some areas have surprising snowfalls this winter.
