As a meteorologist, waking up to 4 to 6 inches of snow locally is certainly fun and interesting, but well within typical January weather for Southern New England. For me, what’s really interesting is what is forecast to take place across the Gulf Coast Tuesday with a perhaps unprecedented amount of snow for a very wide swath from Texas to parts of Florida.

Storm Enzo is going to bring winter weather to southern Louisiana this week, including New Orleans, Lafayette and Baton Rouge. Snow and ice could cause major headaches for the region through midweek.

Winter storm Enzo is expected to bring severe travel disruptions and unusually cold weather to the far southeast on Monday and Tuesday.

Storm Enzo is set to track across the South early this week, bringing a swath of wintry weather to places that don’t often see it. Snow and ice will pose threats to power lines and travel across the region.
