It’s true -- you are not dreaming. For the first time in 28 years, snow fell on the streets of Tallahassee, Florida during rush hour Wednesday morning.
The conditions are cold enough for the snow to form, but videos show it quickly melting as it hits the ground. The National Weather Service measured 0.1” of snow/sleet on their rooftop.
Roughly 50 miles of Interstate 10 have been closed in Tallahassee due to snow an ice. In lieu of the traditional salt, the unusual weather has prompted Florida Highway Patrol to lay down sand to melt the ice, according to ABC News’ Victor Oquendo.
Tallahassee Police @TallyPD It’s snowing in Tallahassee! As exciting as this is, please use extreme caution if you are driving & don’t expose yourself to the cold for too long without proper gear. #SunshineState #SnowDay #WinterIsHere 8:10 AM - Jan 3, 2018

Snowfall is unlikely in Orlando, but could be possible in Central Florida’s most northern regions, according to Channel 9 Eyewitness News.
Trump in office less than a year and global warming is solved. Amazing!!
Believe me, I know.
Thanks for your prayers.
Yep...everything will be closed tomorrow.
Are you in any danger from flooding or anything?
Pretty sure the Highway Patrol is not actually the ones laying down sand. ha ha... That said in some states the safety issues of roads are determined by law enforcement and in some states by DOT. That has to do with who legally determines if conditions require closure, sand, or other action to be safe. Reporters have no common sense so they have a hard time clearly reporting on most things, and they no longer bother to even do a quick google search before writing a story.
Not by the ocean.
My biggest concern is losing electricity and heat.
Good and I hear you.
I’ll be praying tonight.
‘Night.....
Thanks!
