The snow, which fell on the 14th-15th, was caused by a big Gulf low pressure system and an arctic airmass that settled into the nation’s midsection. The pressure at the center of the sprawling anticyclone was nearly 31.00 inches. Nine inches of snow fell in New Orleans, 15 inches in Galveston, 24 inches in Rayne, Louisiana, six inches in Brownsville, Texas and Mobile, Alabama.
How often had we have close calls like this in the winter?
