Heavy Snow in Wilcox, Alabama

Storm total of 4 inches in Camden, 3.3 near Pine Hill and 3 inches in Pine Apple. Many roads across the county were impassable.

An extremely rare early season snow event occurred across the central Gulf coast late in the day on the 8th into the morning of the 9th. An area of low pressure moved northeast off the Gulf and as the low moved east and pulled a cold air mass into the area, rain changed to a mix and eventually all snow. It was the earliest snow event ever recorded in the area. Most areas received some accumulation, with the largest totals across northwest areas. Areas northwest of a line from Leakesville, Mississippi to Camden, Alabama received 3 to as much as 7.5 inches of snow.
