January 21, 2025, is a day Destin locals won’t forget anytime soon—a historic winter storm brought us something we rarely see: snow! A few inches blanketed the area, with some spots even breaking records.
The Emerald Coast transformed into a stunning winter wonderland, and we didn’t waste a second enjoying it. Families built snowmen topped with seashells, seaweed, palm branches and beach hats, blending our beachy, coastal charm with a picture-perfect winter scene right off a Hallmark Christmas card. Snowball fights broke out, snow angels filled the yards, kids and kids-at-heart “snow surfed” on anything they could find and we all soaked in a moment we might not see again for years. Even our sugar-white sand was overlaid with glistening snow!
It was pure magic—one of those rare experiences that stick with you forever. Or, as my 8-year-old grandson put it: “Best day ever!”
