UNDATED (WJON News) -- A very rare winter storm brought more snow to cities along the Gulf Coast than we've seen here in St. Cloud for the whole month of January.

In fact, places in parts of Texas, Louisiana, and Florida have now had nearly as much snow this winter as we have here in central Minnesota for the whole winter.

The National Weather Service in the Twin Cities says snow showers and flurries on Wednesday will bring the possibility of a dusting of snow across parts of Minnesota.
