The historic snow blizzard sweeping across Gulf Coast states has inspired some Southerners to cope with the weather conditions in creative ways. Heavy snow has blanketed parts of Louisiana, Texas, South Carolina and Florida this week, shattering the region’s previous snowfall records, reported Weather.com. And considering that the region rarely sees snow, wacky antics ensued and were shared in viral social media clips.
Thanks to near-record low temperatures across the Southeast, historic snow is still covering the ground days later in places like Florida and South Carolina.

Banks, who loaned multi-hyphenate billionaire Elon Musk a stunning $13 billion for his ill-advised $44 billion acquisition of Twitter in late 2022, are getting ready to offload billions of debt they accrued as a result, the Wall Street Journal reports.
