Met a woman who got a free @Doritos tattoo in the French Quarter. This man is getting one too and says he doesn’t even like Doritos. Ha!

After a terrorist attack. Sugar Bowl. Presidential visit. Barricaded French Quarter. Presentational inauguration. Sneaux Day. Interstates freezing over. Boil water advisories. Last minute Super Bowl preps… It is FINALLY the last day of January, New Orleans!

Snow plows in south Louisiana ❄️
Routes for emergency vehicles and fire trucks are our first priority as our Jefferson Parish crews work to clear a path today. All residents are urged to still stay home and off the roads so that our first-responders are able to safely travel to respond to emergency situations.

New Orleans, LA has received more than double the amount of snowfall we've received here in Anchorage, AK since the start of meteorological winter (Dec. 1). New Orleans: 8.0" Anchorage: 3.8" @NWSNewOrleans, we'd like our snow back. Or at least some King Cake in return. 😉🙃

I’m still in disbelief this happened. Here it is. Timelapse of historic New Orleans snow storm. Snow got up to 12 inches on my snowboard in the French Quarter.
