if/when that happens in TV we are definitely moving South. I do not want to see or feel even the littlest bit of snow or the cold that comes with it.

We had a dusting of snow on the rooftops in TV the winter of 2010. It was cold that year with about 7 or more straight days on the 30s

On my laptop I have a picture of what appears to be a dusting of snow on my plant blankets from that winter, 784. It was one of the colder winters we've experienced here and the Weather Channel showed "snow" in areas around the area, on the radar pic.

I experienced it in S. Florida, Hollywood, in 1976, but it didn't stick. That said, I'd love to see several inches here even though you recent Floridians would protest.

I know we had snow in 1957. I was in first grade. We made a tiny dirty snowman from what we could scrape up, brought him inside and watched him melt on the windowsill.

Yes, we were living in Ft. Lauderdale when it snowed in January 1977. The schools closed to let the kids play in the snow!
At that time all the garbage trucks said "Free Snow Removal."

I said 1976, but I guess you're right, it was Jan 1977. A few months later I did a rode trip to Calif. and met someone that said he heard we had 2 feet of snow. Just goes to show you how info gets distorted.
Also, those same trucks advertised "we cater weddings"

Snow and freezing temperatures while extremely rare in Florida do occur. I was in Miami back in the late seventies on the only day in history that it snowed in Miami. I have a copy of the newspaper from that day, but it is packed away with a bunch of stuff that I gave to my kids to hold.
