Officials have classified the incident as accidental.

As we found out again this year, in south Louisiana we are more likely to have a White Valentine’s Day than a White Christmas. Records show that most of our substantial snowfalls over the last century or so have been in February.
This year’s snow began on the day after Valentine’s Day, but the cold snap that preceded it — and lingered way too long afterward — was here well in time to freeze creamy chocolates and wilt red roses.
But that’s not the first time it’s happened. The snowfall that set still-standing records in south Louisiana began on Valentine’s Day 1895.
Bridget Winters and Murphy Guilbeaux speak to the Kiwanis Club about the Vermilion Charter Academy.
Bridget Winters has lived in the north Vermilion Parish area for more than 20 years.
She has seen tremendous growth in the area during that time.
“I will drive around and see a new subdivision pop up that wasn’t there the week before,” Winters said with a laugh.
While it won’t be “popping up” within a week, Winters is part of a group that has a long-term plan for a new charter school in the northern part of the parish, an area Winters said needs a new facility.
