Snow has started to fall in the United States, but not in the places you might expect.

In yet another example of unusual weather this year, the first week of December brought accumulating snow to places like Austin, Texas, Birmingham, Alabama, and Atlanta, Georgia — places that rarely ever see several inches of snow, let alone experience a snowstorm before Christmas.

Snow even fell as far south as Corpus Christi, Texas, near the U.S.-Mexico border, where there was at least one instance of “thundersnow” caught on radar.
