For the last few years, I've become increasingly emotionally invested in these local bald eagles and their efforts to hatch an egg. So I am just overjoyed that this year, it finally happened.

Last week was history making on the Gulf Coast with a truly memorable snowstorm between Texas and Florida. Today, we recap some of the numbers and scenes from across the region & look at how it compared to the benchmark Gulf Coast snowstorm from 1895. More here:
