An unprecedented 8.9 inches of snow fell on Pensacola on January 21, 2025, creating icy roads of a magnitude never before seen in the state of Florida. The previous statewide snowfall record was 4 inches, set in 1954. On the morning after the snowstorm, Pensacola drivers met significant challenges while traversing a hill on North Davis Highway, with many getting stuck and some losing control. Interstates 10 and 110 were closed and deserted. Like many areas of the southern United States, there are no salt trucks or snowplows to clear and treat roads in Florida. These regions simply shut everything down and wait for temperatures to warm up again. For most Pensacola residents, this was their first time seeing and driving on icy roads.

All of this video was nearly lost due to an in-camera SD card failure at the end of shooting. A thanks to Jeremy at Recover My Flash Drive for excellent work on the full recovery of the data on the card.

Most of all, thanks to the Lord for safety on these long and many times dangerous expeditions and averting what looked like a major loss of the rare video captured during this 3-day, 10-state, 2,300 mile trip.

I'm planning on doing a bigger, more detailed video on this when I can find time to include everything that needs to be shown. In the meantime, here's just a small sample of what is on the verge of putting my entire operation out of business: copyright infringement in the form of stolen videos and what I call "Fair Use abuse". Thank you to all of my subscribers and viewers for your support over the years.

A mixture of sleet, freezing rain and snow made roads and highways in the Dallas-Fort Worth Metroplex icy and hazardous. This car spun out on icy Highway 12 on the west side of Dallas. Copyright Dan Robinson

The sound of large tree branches breaking was constant and widespread in Perryville, Missouri as an ice storm brought accretions of more than one-half inch to parts of eastern Missouri. Most trees in Perryville lost multiple limbs, including some very large (in excess of 18 inches in diameter). Power was out to large sections of town. Copyright Dan Robinson
