December's Winter Storm Cleonhad a fascinating side effect on the Dallas area.

The ice storm that shut down much of north Texas in early December occurred nine months ago, and it appears a lot of the city's residents were knocking (snow)boots while hunkered down in their homes. According to NBC DFW, hospitals all over the Metroplex have been bustling with newborns in recent weeks.

LaToya Scales, a nurse at Baylor Medical Center in Dallas, told NBC DFW that doctors delivered 24 babies in a single day last month– well above the average of 10 per day.

"The storm comes, and what else is there to do but stay inside and keep each other company?" she jokingly said in the report.

The good news is the hospital was prepared for this baby boom, as it's a regular occurrence nine months after an ice storm in the Dallas area, reported CBS DFW. Medical City Dallas Hospital added additional staff and stocked up on supplies like diapers and bottles for the infant influx, the report added.

Winter Storm Cleon gripped north Texas for several days, closing major highways and killing at least four people on icy roads across the state. Thousands lost power in the event, and when temperatures dropped inside homes, couples like new parents Lauren Johnston and Ryan White had to get a little closer, reported CBS DFW.

“It all adds up to around the time we were stuck in our house for seven days," said Johnston in the report. "Couldn’t even go to the grocery store, so you know, ’tis the season!”
