NASA Stennis Becomes Winter Wonderland

NASA’s Stennis Space Center near Bay St. Louis, Mississippi, is often associated with hot fires coming from the center’s long history of hot fire testing engines and stages that have helped power the nation’s space dreams since the first humans stepped foot on the Moon. However, NASA Stennis turned into a Winter Wonderland Jan. 21 when America’s largest rocket propulsion test site received a historic amount of snow across the unique federal city. Hancock County, where NASA Stennis is located, received five to seven inches of snow, according to the National Weather Service. It marked the most snow the county has received in 61 years. The December 31, 1963, snowfall holds the record at 10 inches of snow for Bay St. Louis, Mississippi.
