In 2017, an amazing winter storm brought historic snows to the Deep South. First to be impacted was South Texas, where around 5 inches covered College Station, and 2 to 4 inches accumulated as far south as Corpus Christi, Galveston and Houston. The snow spread rapidly from Louisiana to Georgia. Many of these areas received 3 to 6 inches of snow. Parts of East and Northeast Alabama were buried by 8 to 10 inches of snow. The storm caused Delta to cancel around 625 flights out of Atlanta.
