Not enough to stick but light snow with a few flurries that actually look like snow.  Most of it is just floating drifting precipitation.  Been a long time since we have seen even this much.  cooldude

Central Florida - Eustis

Had it here in Eustis several years ago. Walked out one morning and the black boat cover on the Whaler was all white. Didn't register for a minute....!
Best one though was back in February 1977, all the way down in Stuart, Fl. I was a test driver at the time for Johnson/Evinrude outboards. Went in to start work at 7AM and it was snowing! Kept snowing for over an hour while we were running the river at WOT.

These pics are from 2009 or 10, I don't remember exactly.



That's Kim making a snowball.



Of course I spent the day here.

I think it was 1989 when we got enough to make snowmen and the kids could play in the snow.  Trucks were stuck on I-75 and couldn't get going again because of the ice and snow.  I have a VHS tape somewhere.  Need to convert it.

 My wife was attending college in Tampa in 1977 and had her picture on the front page of the newspaper playing in the snow which was less than an inch. She said that they canceled classes. I was living in Ft Lauderdale and it got that far but very lite and wouldn't stick to anything.
