Snow in Florida: Woman recreates photo from snowstorm from 48 years earlier

An unprecedented snow storm hit areas from Florida to New Orleans this week, creating record-breaking snowfall totals in parts of Florida.

The Pensacola area broke the state’s 130-year-old record for total snowfall. The National Weather Service reported 8.9 inches in Pensacola and 9.8 inches in Milton, both breaking the previous Florida record of 4 inches set in 1954.

Olivia Lightyear, 23, used the snow day in Pensacola to recreate a scene she saw in a photo during another rare snowfall event in Florida that happened in 1977.

Lightyear, from Santa Rosa Beach, is in a group called the Lightyear Sisters.
