This is likely a misunderstanding of news reports of unexpected early and heavy snow in a region of Louisiana known as the
Florida Parishes, such as
this one. The sharing of a name of these 8 Louisiana parishes (unlike most US states, the sub-jurisdictions of Louisiana are called parishes, not counties) with the nearby state of
Florida is a coincidence of American history, owing to the differences in names given to these territories by Spain and the US.
