I remember living in Tampa in 1977 when an inch of snow fell. It caused 200 car accidents by 11 am. I think that it melted in the afternoon. It would have been much safer for commuters if the City had somehow called off the early morning rush. I don't really know if there was snow in The Villages at that time. Also, I assume that The Villages may have just been The Village (singular) at that time and very small.
