Louisiana Governor Jeff Landry said the state is facing potential record snowfall that could close Mississippi River bridges from Baton Rouge to New Orleans.

The winter storm next week is expected to dump up to 8 inches of snow in some areas and create hazardous road conditions in New Orleans, the northshore, Baton Rouge and Lafayette, with freezing temps for days.

Aside from a boil water advisory in Lafayette, most of the state’s public utilities fared relatively well Tuesday when a winter weather system brought blizzard conditions to parts of Louisiana and covered some area with as much as 10 inches of snow. But officials warn that could change very quickly over the next few days.

People across the Gulf coast are shoveling snow after a historic winter storm dropped a blanket of snow over the region.
