40 years ago snow fell in Florida. Until this past December of 2017 it has snowed again. Flurries were reported in Destin and Miramar beach, while temperatures in St. Petersburg were 48 degrees and below. Talk about global warming snow in Florida? Many people were flabbergasted that this occurred. An unknown source says it snowed because of a winter storm that hit the Deep South.

The big snow blizzard of 2017  has caused schools to shut down and flights to be delayed. It was so bad that FSU had to announce that school was being closed on Wednesday until 12 pm to 5 p.m due to the snow storm. Snow had been falling in Tallahassee on that Wednesday as a cold front was being pushed into Florida, which is what sparked the reason for the closing of schools and roads including interstate 10, a portion of which was shut down by icy conditions.
