Heavy snow, sleet and ice are making travel conditions treacherous across the region, stretching from Houston into the Florida panhandle.

An historic January storm dumped more deep snow along the U.S. Gulf Coast on Wednesday after bringing Houston and New Orleans to a near standstill over the past two days and burying parts of Florida's Panhandle with accumulations more typical of Chicago.

NEXT Weather meteorologist Shane Hinton said as the afternoon sun begins to melt the ice and snow, it will re-freeze overnight as temperatures plunge back into the teens.

A winter storm that dropped record-breaking snow across the South moved into Florida. Some people are seeing snow for the first time.
