Snow in the Sunshine State doesn't happen very often. But it did. And here are the photos from Pensacola to Yulee to prove it.

But here's a quick answer for what time the sun will rise around Florida today, Tuesday, Jan. 28. All information was provided by timeanddate.com. All times ET except for Pensacola, which is in the central time zone. Sunrise will be at 6:41 a.m. Sunset will be at 5:22 p.m. Sunrise will be at 7:30 a.m.

The winter storm that crossed the Gulf coast and landed in Florida earlier this week is one for the record books, smashing the previous all-time high for snowfall in the Sunshine State.

Not only did Florida get record snowfall, but it was colder in Pensacola this morning than it was in Anchorage, Alaska.

Here’s where snow fell in Florida, how much snow the Sunshine State got this week and what the coldest day in Florida history was.

Temperatures in North Florida last week were downright frigid. From Jan. 19-25, Pensacola's average temperature was 33.8 degrees, which is 17.3 degrees below the average temperature for the same time frame, according to the NWS.

North Florida residents from Pensacola to Jacksonville are bracing for what is expected to be a historic, once-in-a-lifetime winter storm.

Storm Warning is in effect for the entire Interstate 10 corridor where snow and ice accumulations could reach 4" over the next 24 hours. Pensacola will likely see the most snowfall in the state while greater amounts of ice are anticipated for cities such as Tallahassee and Jacksonville.

Unusually cold temperatures in central Florida have led to winter weather advisories, while Alaska has experienced some rare warm weather this month.

“I’m so glad I’m so much farther south. I moved to Florida to get away from the snow!” commented Jennifer Saxon Halam on his post. According to her Facebook, she lives in Englewood on Florida’s west coast about 88 miles south of Tampa. But just wait: Weather Underground forecasts a low of 38 there next Saturday morning.

Officials are asking Panhandle residents to avoid being on the roads. Freezing temperatures mean icy, dangerous conditions.

Not even the most seasoned Floridians anticipated the magnitude of the epic snowstorm that shattered Florida’s snow records last week.
