The political travel continued that week for DeSantis, though he did come to the state to sign the Heartbeat Protection Act banning abortion after the sixth week of pregnancy late at night. He went to Lynchburg, Virginia, where he talked to Liberty University students, and to Manchester, New Hampshire.

"The roads could become hazardous beginning this afternoon. There’s going to be ice, there’s going to be snow..."

Facing a forecast of two to four inches of snow and freezing rain in North Florida, Gov. Ron DeSantis discouraged unnecessary travel Tuesday. A winter storm warning expands across all of North Florida and could creep into Central Florida.

Storm Warning is in effect for the entire Interstate 10 corridor where snow and ice accumulations could reach 4" over the next 24 hours. Pensacola will likely see the most snowfall in the state while greater amounts of ice are anticipated for cities such as Tallahassee and Jacksonville.

A winter weather system headed toward North Florida prompted the governor to issue a state of emergency for the region on Monday.

Florida residents who had a rare snow day were seen in photos and videos making snowmen and having snowball fights. Meteorologists say the snow may stick around until Wednesday, but won't reach Tampa.
