Not so fast there Bran I have seen it snow all the way down to the Bahamas. Well it didn’t stick like that.

Yeah, I've seen it "ice" down here back in the late 80's... but as long as my parents have lived here, about 24 years now, it's never "snowed" anywhere around this part of central Florida. Either way, it was in the 80's when I got here and has only dropped down to the latter part of the 70's during the day, and down around the early 60's at night... that's just because of the cold front that got pushed down and the occasional rainstorms that's blown through.
It's been nice enough for me, compared to Missouri where I left from last week!!

In 1977 it snowed in Miami. The tourist were not happy.

1977
The residents of northern Florida around Pensacola were the first to see snow fall on the Sunshine State, receiving 1-2 inches (2.5-5.0 cm) on January 18. Frigid, gusty northwest winds of 40-45 mph (64-72 km/h) pushed the line of falling snow southward, so that by the end of the day, every weather station in north and central Florida had echoed the word: Snow. Tampa recorded its greatest accumulation to date: 0.2 inches (0.5 cm). Plant City measured nearly two inches (five cm) on the ground, and Orlando, Daytona Beach and Vero Beach confirmed falling snow or snow on the ground.
Overnight, the cold and snow continued marching ever southward. On Wednesday, January 19 at 6:10 AM, West Palm Beach reported snow falling for the first time on record. An hour later, the Miami area weather forecast was amended to include the likelihood of snow mixed with rain. This was the first forecast for snow ever issued for the city.
For most of Greater Miami, the forecast was on the mark. From 8:30 to 9:00 AM, snow reports emanated from the Fort Lauderdale/Hollywood International Airport in Broward County. Homestead, 23 miles (37 km) southwest of Miami in southern Dade County (latitude 25 deg, 30 minutes), reported snow falling. While observers at Miami International Airport never officially reported snow, radar picked up echos of snow falling around the city, and there were numerous public sightings of the unusual precipitation, including some from Miami Beach.
The fine granular snow crystals dusted the palms and baptised the ground with white water, but they soon melted. Most children, and many adults, had never seen snow before -- at least not live and in concert. "They were ecstatic, running around with their tongues out, trying to catch the snow in their mouths," commented Wilton Manors Elementary School principal, Mary Crum.
The snow and cold continued to move southeastward, bringing snow mixed with cold rain to Freeport in the Bahamas. Within a couple of days, weather conditions returned to near normal in south Florida.

Dale,
I believed you before... Like I said, my parents have only lived here in Saint Petersburg since 1983... and before that, they only lived a couple years over in Daytona/New Smyrna area. That was way before I was even born, or they lived here. But touche` on the research...

[glasskeeper]

Wow, you guys did get a lot of snow! When's the last time you drove that truck? Have a great holiday! Jim

 

[narragansett]

I like the cold until the holidays are over and then I wish it was Summer again.

glasskeeper, and Superduty,

You asked about the snowman looking thing on the left side of the shed. The small mound in front has a wheelbarrow under it, and the tall one has about 4 of those cheap plastic stack chairs under it.

Bran;
I knew you believed me. I wasn’t trying to correct your post. I was reminiscing of years gone by. Just thought I would post that story because people were really freaked out over the snow down here.

Have a wonderful holiday

Dale
