South Louisiana saw some snow Friday morning to the delight of residents. So how rare of an event is this? Don Molino reports…:
Social media went crazy when south Louisiana actually got snow. Parents are posting videos of their kids playing in the white stuff for the first time ever. One man recorded his young son opening the door and discovering a winter wonderland in the Bayou State.

Rodney Mallett with the Department of Transportation says if you have to be on the roads, you can visit 511la.org to find closures and other helpful weather related information…:
A five year old child was killed in a single vehicle accident in Ascension Parish. State Police say the driver 27-year-old Kayla Taylor of Donaldsonville, ran off the roadway, striking a culvert and overturning the vehicle. Ma’Laysha Leblanc was unrestrained and got serious injuries. She was transported to a hospital where she later died. Taylor also sustained serious injuries. Troopers are still trying to figure out why both the driver and childs were unrestrained.
