Believe it or not there is possible snow coming to Florida in the coming week.

I've been in Florida when it's snowed. March of 1993. Our entire family was in a 1 bedroom condo on Anna Maria Island, and my then 9 month old nephew decided to take that opportunity to start walking. The snow didn't stick for more than a couple of hours, but it most certainly did snow for the better part of a day. Good times!

Ive lived in Sarasota, Fl my entire 59 years of life. It snowed Christmas Eve 1989. I was out with friends bar hopping. I thought it was ash from someones fireplace at first. It wasnt a lot at all. It accumulated on car tops a tiny bit on roofs. I remember scraping it off the my car roof and putting it in my freezer. For what, I dont know.lol

I do not recall snow falling in 1993 in Anna Maria Island,. I cannot find info on that happening on the internet..

Perhaps it was in the Florida Panhandle during the Blizzard of the Century March 1993?

Well, I was there, and it did indeed happen. It was part of the "Storm of the Century" in March. Per Wikipedia: "Snow was seen as far south as Tampa Bay in central Florida" AMI is bordered on the north and east by Tampa Bay.

@mormel20.  That would be so much fun for so many people, especially the kids.  Hope it materializes as it probably wouldn't be much.

few more days in the sixties then a steady warming into the high 70s. I ❤️ the Tampa Bay area

I can’t imagine going on the Internet to do research if snow fell in 1993 in a certain town in Florida..
Who would care about a weather incident from over 30 yrs ago?🤔

Cities in the South do not have enough snow-removal equipment to clear the roads in a heavy snowfall...
