Actually regarding Hawaii, it almost always has reliable snow - at the very least in drifts - this time of year on the volcano summits. It is not unusual at all.

There is some serious altitude there.

Neat idea...snow pics from every state.

If the Florida panhandle gets its couple inches, then there will be snow on the ground in all 50 states? Wow! Has that happened before?

We’ve been under a heavy blanket of the white stuff for over two months here in MN, and the extended forecast calls for mid-20s highs and single digit lows for the foreseeable future, so it’s not melting anytime soon.

ZOMG... global warming has affected the whole country!

He says he’s unsure if such a weather phenomenon has ever occurred before. A spokesman for the National Climatic Data Center didn’t immediately return messages left Thursday.

It has happened before. I remember it occurring in the late 70s or early 80s. Usually, Fla and La are the last holdouts, and a southern snow that hits Fla probably got the rest of the south.

Are you sure it isn’t all 57 states?

Let's check our power...... Post your snow pics on this thread. Can we gather 50 states?

I live about 2 hours North of Atlanta ,Georgia. I will post my picture soon.

I never seen anything like this, we have had snow on the ground since early January. Today Atlanta is going to get snowed in.

Pensacola is supposed to get measurable snowfall today for the first time in over 30 years. They closed the gubmint skools in Mobile, AL, today, too. If it’s anything like when we get snowfall here in Chattanooga, store shelves are probably stripped bare of milk, bread, eggs and toilet paper already....

"a snow snapshot of America."

Isn't that what the Census is doing? /s

[CPOSharky]

...very unique...

Come on, Rusty. Look up 'unique' in a dictionary. Hint, it means one of a kind. Very one of a kind? Really.

if it’s anything like hurricane time here, the beer aisle is also bare...

I’m sure around Al Gore’s mansion it is at least 80 degrees and the palm trees are swaying in the breeze....global warming you know. Maybe Al Gore can come to Washington and part the snow drifts like Moses did the Red Sea.

I'm just outside of Knoxville so I'm right there with you on the buying sprees. I heard a radio announcer here once talk about people making snow souffle'. When asked what that was, he said, "I don't know, but apparently it has bread, milk, beer, and cigarettes in it."

That said, I better head for Walmart.

GW PING!!!

I live 30 miles north of New Orleans. It is currently snowing. This is the third time in the last 14 months and the 4th time since the white christmas in 2004. Growing up in New Orleans I saw snow exactly twice between 1974 and 2003.

I’ve been down the S. Florida area all winter - from Delray Beach to the Keys. I won’t say it’s been “cold”, but it has certainly been cool, much cooler than I remember in previous years, FWIW.
