DSCN2567 Baton Rouge sneaux day (as shot)
“Baton Rouge woke up Tuesday to the unthinkable: snow falling for the first time in seven years and temperatures in the 20s.
At least 6 inches was reported throughout most parts of East Baton Rouge, Prairieville and Denham Springs, according to the National Weather Service. Areas of Geismar and southwestern Baton Rouge had as much as 8 inches by early Tuesday evening when the snow finally tapered, the weather service said.
It's likely to be the second-biggest snowfall in Baton Rouge history, eclipsing the 6-inch snowfall in January 1940. The all-time record is 12.5 inches, which crushed the city in February 1895.”
