Remember the garbage trucks, I always got a hoot out of that, when I lived there.

ALLAHASSEE, Fla. – Florida spent Tuesday preparing for its most significant bout of winter weather since 1989, with airports closing and officials calling for residents in the western Panhandle to stay off the roads.
On Tuesday evening, widespread reports of 5-12 inches of snow were reported around Pensacola, causing troopers to shut down a nearly 70-mile stretch of Interstate 10. National Weather Service offices along the corridor issued a rare Winter Storm Warning for counties from Pensacola to Jacksonville, warning of snow and ice accumulations that could make travel hazardous.
Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis issued a state of emergency on Monday ahead of the wintry mess and said that for communities in the Panhandle, the wintry mess could be record-breaking. The Sunshine State's all-time greatest snowfall was 4 inches in Milton, outside of Pensacola, on March 6, 1954, which was eclipsed on Tuesday by the measurements around Pensacola.

Great comment.
I was in Ft. Lauderdale in 1977 when it snowed.
=:-)
-17F here in northern NH.
It's not cold until the C and F thermometers read the same number.
In the 50s and 60s in northern Vermont that happened a lot.
One year in Worcester, VT it never got above -40F for a month.
And yet we can safely predict, a few months from now, that the US government and the national weather media will inform us, in grave tones, that this winter has been the hottest in earth history.
...more “climate change”
Saw a reporter actually kneeling on a NO street, hitting his hand on what was 2 inches of solid ice! It was 13 degrees!
That’s not going to melt any time soon, even with salt!
Here in PA, we got 7 inches of fluffy, light snow. Love it!
...the greens will be closed today
In 1977 a winter storm that dumped snow in all 50 states and gave the US cloud cover for the entire month of January was used as proof we were entering THE COMING ICE AGE!
Miami Fl made the claim it never snowed there but they admitted to having “soft sleet” at that time.
Orange crop was ruined so they went straight into orange juice.
I understand that northern NH & VT has colder temps than southern NH.
Just like ND has typical temperatures of -20 in the winter.
The coldest I have EVER seen prior to this morning in southern NH was -13.
Had we gotten that cold along with five to ten inches of snow, I'd have flat run out of expletives.
Didn’t you hear? Trump signed an EO which outlawed global warming!

A foot of snow in the Panhandle? Good God...that’s a lot of global warming!
Apparently the Earth doesn’t know it is getting hotter not colder.
No, too far south they are. My DIL had to find someway to heat her chicken coops this AM though.
It should kill the ticks, but they'll be back, hopefully in lesser numbers. Here's an article on that: https://adk.org/ticks-in-winter-ostfeld/#:~:text=Many%20have%20inquired%20if%20cold,come%20out%20the%20following%20spring.
I’m confused here, is this what they mean by global warming?
Pensacola, FL 8-9” of snow.
Up here in Minneapolis-St. Paul, 8 to 9 inches of snow would be a mess.
I can only imagine what that amount would do to Pensacola or New Orleans.
I was in Atlanta for the March 1993 Superstorm and got to see how Atlantans handled a major dumping of snow.
Not good.
