Snowing in Florida ?

Just heard from a friend that it is snowing in Pensacola, about 200 hundred miles from here. Our weather man says we have a chance to get some here next week. The neighborhood children are excited as well as some adults. I do remember it snowing in 1957. I was 4 years old, My Daddy and I made a snowman! The next time I remember was 1977 when my oldest daughter was a year old,I bundled her up and took her out to play in it. The next time was in 1990. We were in Dothan Alabama shopping about 100 miles from us. We heard on the radio that it was snowing at our house,so we hurried home,by the time we got home it had stopped but our lawn and porch were covered in a white blanket of snow,it was beautiful! It does not happen very often so I am hopeing that we do get some!

  2. It is unique when it snows down here. One thing about it when it does there isn't the mess that follows it up north. You got a good memory girl! But that is the fun times, huh.
    Neat entry. Now dream........ it just might snow. But not down here in central Florida, huh?

  4. It has been so cold here, but we are so much further south than you that there will be no snow, heavy frost maybe but o snow.

  5. I have several ft. of snow I could share!
    That is pretty amazing you could be getting snow. My son lives in Phoenix and they actually had a little bit last year. Of course it didn't last.
    Take care, and I love your story too,

  6. It may be exciting for you all that don't get it but here it is the norm. Snow from late November through March and sometimes in April. I'm looking forward to Spring.

  8. I'm with Patty, I'm so ready for spring. We have 15 inches here in Philly. Wish I could ship you some. But I guess when you never see it, it's fun.
