Mother Nature has cooked up one frigid winter. That doesn’t just apply to the Commonwealth of Kentucky. As Rodger Sherman put it, SEC country traded college football success for snow.

There’s an extreme cold warning from Pikeville to Paducah, but negative wind chills aren’t what’s making headlines on national news. Our thunder is being stolen by the Deep South where they’re receiving record amounts of snowfall.

On Tuesday afternoon, New Orleans received 10 inches of snow, breaking a record that was set back in 1895. This place can be the hottest, most humid place on Earth. Now it’s a winter wonderland.

Bourbon Street

Things get weird in Louisiana. They get even weirder when you give Cajuns a couple of inches of snow.

A snowball fight is to be expected. Snow skiing down Bourbon Street? No, you aren’t on drugs.

It all pales in comparison to the image that wins the internet today. Give Louisiana snow and it will give you a fan-boat doing donuts.

A Snowy Beach?

Louisville’s second city, approximately 2.7 million Jefferson County citizens travel to Destin each year. Instead of go-karts, now you will find this sandy panhandle paradise covered in snow.

SEC Football in the Snow

The frigid temperatures across the country have blessed us with multiple snow football games. You can go all the way back to mid-November when Jameis Winston shocked the Steelers in the snow on Thursday Night Football. Half of the Divisional Round playoff games featured snow. We didn’t get a ton of it in the CFP, but at least we’re finally getting to see what LSU would look like in a snow game.

This is what it looks like when you mess with the weather on a video game. It looks unnatural, but it’s actually real life.

The Sun Belt? More like the Snow Belt, amirite?
