Winter Weather

Mississippi is no stranger to winter weather, including snow. The state's southern portions, namely from a line from Natchez to Hattiesburg and to the coast, do not experience snow as frequently as the northern part of the state. However, areas north of a line from Greenville to Starkville could have roughly 2.5 inches of snow yearly.

Variations in snowfall occur both seasonally and from place to place, causing some locations to get more or less than their typical average amount of snowfall.

Regardless of location, sub-zero temperatures and wind chills are possible throughout the state during winter.
