We had snow last night!

Okay, so it didn't hit the ground. That's not something you really expect in Florida, especially this time of year.

From the Orlando Sentinel-

Northerners coming here to escape cold weather got a surprise instead late Tuesday: snow in Central Florida.

Yes, we said snow.

The National Weather Service confirmed that flakes -- albeit mixed with rain -- were in the skies over Central Florida. Reports of flurries began drifting in from northern parts of the area at about 9 p.m., weather-service meteorologist John Pendergrast said.

Observers in Deltona, Ponce Inlet, Ocoee, Lake Mary and Orlando spotted the wet flakes. It wasn't enough to make snow angels, or even call for a shovel, but it was snow.

"It's just cold enough in the lower levels of the atmosphere" to keep the flakes from melting, Pendergrast said.

The last time the region saw snow was in 2003, when flakes fell over Brevard and Volusia counties.

LOL, May 1978 (IIRC) snowed like crazy on Ft.Bragg.
I was on a field exersize with 1-505 Abn Inf. It was so cold the company commander allowed us to build fires. It was the only time I ever remember having a fire in the field.
