Central Louisiana residents delight in a rare snow day Tuesday
Snow is not something that you see very often in Central Louisiana.
Central Louisiana woke up to a blanket of snow, and several Pineville residents were out Tuesday morning enjoying it while it lasted.
“We love it,” said Nikita Rackley, who was outside on Myrtle Street with Jayden Deslatte, 10, and his uncle Wesley Deslatte enjoying the rare snowfall.
Chris Jasper, 20, and Corneilous Hughes, 12, donned a pair of Louisiana mittens (socks) on their hands as they pelted each other with snowballs on Barrett Street. Jasper said the socks did help keep their hands warm a little bit.
“I hadn’t seen snow in years,” Jasper said.
It was the first time Hughes has seen snow in Louisiana but has seen it in Houston. He expected it to snow here on Christmas.
“It’s a lot of fun,” said Jaden Wells, a Louisiana Christian University freshman psychology major from Mandeville.
The campus was closed Tuesday due to the weather, but Wells and Noah Nava, a junior education major from Newton, Texas, were outside throwing snowballs at each other and attempting to build a snowman.
The snow was not sticky enough for the snowman, so they ended up with a small mound.
“It’s perfect for snowballs though,” said Nava, showing one he just made.
“We don’t get this a lot so you’ve got to get outside and enjoy it as much as you can,” said Wells.
The National Weather Service in Lake Charles issued a Winter Storm Warning from midnight Tuesday until midnight Wednesday. A low of 14 degrees is expected for Tuesday night. Wednesday’s high is expected to be 30, with a low of 19.
