TALLAHASSEE, Fla. (WCTV) - Much of north Florida was shut down Wednesday after a winter storm blanketed the region in ice and snow. The state urged everyone to remain off the roads until it is safe to drive.

A winter storm for the ages brought a rare snow day to Tallahassee, shutting down the city and giving people a chance to throw snowballs and sled down a hill.

Streets and school bus stops were eerily quiet as Killearn and the rest of the northeast part of the city experienced a rare snowstorm.
