A rare winter storm churned across the U.S. Gulf Coast on Tuesday (January 21), bringing heavy snow, ice and wind gusts to a region where flurries are unusual, while much of the United States remained in a dangerous deep freeze.A camera overlooking Pensacola Beach, Florida, captured a rare blizzard enveloping the pier area, with snow falling on top the palm trees and blanketing the streets.The storm is expected to crawl through Mississippi, Georgia and Florida early this week.Temperatures were expected to dip on Tuesday into single digits Fahrenheit, well below freezing, across the region. Forecasters and local leaders urged residents to protect themselves from frostbite and to take steps to keep their water pipes from rupturing.Across the South, the snow, combined with an inch of ice accumulation and wind gusts of up to 40 miles per hour (64 kph), could make road and air travel difficult for several days, while threatening to topple power lines and trees, forecasters said.(Production: Monica Naime, Fernando Robles, Ivan Romero)
