Wednesday morning, the Florida Highway Patrol closed I-10, the major east-west corridor in the northern part of the state, from Tallahassee to Live Oak because of ice.
By 9 a.m., the snow began to taper off in the state's capital city but the freezing rain and sleet continued.
9am: While the precipitation in Tallahassee has just about ended, points to the east are still getting steady freezing rain, sleet, and snow. Dangerous driving conditions persist.

The last time Tallahassee received measurable snowfall was in December 1989 when an inch fell.
