We had snow flurries in Tampa early this morning. Weather Channel showed a rain loop this morning about ten am with those pink sections that said sleet just NE of Orlando and SE of Tampa.
Sat morning i was at work (i teach and on Sat there is a grad prep class for those that are behind) and one of the other teachers yells "it's snowing" and all 40 kids in the library go running outside (it's a courtyard school, where the center of the school is open). I continue to watch from inside. Being from VA, i have seen snow, most of these kids had not. As they are all staring up at the gray sky wanting so badly to see snow, i realize that the teacher saw pieces of ice sliding off the palms of a tree next to the window. They were a bit dissapointed and told them that snow is fun the first few hours, but after that it is a huge pain that no Floridian should want, if for anything the roads. Could you imagine if the Orlampa area got snow? The majority of these people cant drive anyways and most don't have insurance. Ready for next weeks forecast.
