For the second time in two weeks snow is falling in Alabama, but on this occasion the weather event is targeted in the southern portion of the state. And, it’s bringing a rare snowfall to the sugar white beaches of Gulf Shores.

Seeing snow, and this much of it at that is a weather miracle for Lafayette, Chalmette, and Gulf Shores, Alabama. The Gulf Coast is seeing record-breaking snowfall across the board that people will reminisce about in the years to come.

Snow records are falling right and left this week. But, it looks Mobile takes the cake so far. The six and a half inches that fell by mid day Tuesday topped the six inches of snow Alabama’s Port City saw in 1881.
