Light snow was falling on this panhandle city Wednesday as the last remnant of an unprecedented, deadly storm rolled out to sea after smashing snow records from here to New Orleans and casting a blanket of ice across a region not targeted by such a severe wintry assault in generations.

Snow fell in Houston and prompted the first ever blizzard warnings for several coastal counties near the Texas-Louisiana border.

The snow storm could hit over a dozen states through Wednesday, including Texas, Louisiana, Mississippi, Alabama, Florida, Georgia and the Carolinas.
