The snowiest cities in Louisiana are Springhill and Shreveport for 2024 based on Saturday Night Science.

Sure, a Saturday morning right after a foot of fluffy snow is the best thing ever. But that same amount of snow on Tuesday in Louisiana can make a commute last forever. Imagine it’s the dead of winter and the time of year when the ground is frozen, the air is bone-chilling, and there are piles of dirty, nasty, ice-encrusted snow all over the place.

And while Louisiana doesn’t get that much snow, some places get a bit of snow. This is about the time of year when you’re just about ready for spring — especially in Springhill, the snowiest place in Louisiana.

So, put on your parkas, snow boots, and gloves, and let’s go outside to see which Louisiana cities get dumped on the most every year. After analyzing all the cities in Louisiana with Saturday Night Science, we came up with this list as the 10 snowiest cities in Pelican State.
