Not so much anymore. I grew up in the extreme northeast part of the state, Booneville,(25 miles north of Tupelo) and when I was a small boy (early to mid 1980s) it used to snow a couple of inches once or twice a year. Once (I think it was 1984 or 1985) we had a big snow, 7 or 8 inches accumulation. There was a big snow way to the south, near Jackson, in 1997, but that was a freak event. So, in short, it happens, but experienced weather forecasters don't stake their reputations on forecasting snow it Mississippi, cause Mother Nature will make fools out of them everytime.
North Mississippi has received up to 15 inch of snow twice between 1960 & 1990. During the '60 I remember the north Mississippi area receiving regular snow fall, usually at least one of around 4 inches. Around Christmas in 1963 there was a snowfall fall of approximately 15 inches that stayed on the ground for at least a week. In January of 1988 the extreme NW corner of the state got hit with a 15 inch snow fall and another good snow followed the first week in February as part of a weather system that dropped temperatures and frozen precip down to at least the Houston, TX area.
during winter no not really snow does not stick to the gorund and it never gets cold enough really and i wish it did or at least it never sticks and i am in hattiesburg Mississippi well it snows maybe once every two years and it is 12/11/08 at 9:00 Am
NO it never snows in southaven Ms. There is some ancient curse on the city from when Hernando DeSoto came through these parts on a snowy day. There sometimes is promise of snow, or the weather service will say that there is snow around but the skys always part and sun shines on us through the snow clouds.
No it's not. Haha it hardly ever snows in Mississippi! In the 19 years I've lived here it's only snowed like 3 or 4 times.
Yes, average snowfall is about 2", though it doesn't snow every year.
Yes, but not most years. Average annual snowfall is less than 1 inch.
Yes, snowfall averages about 2" annually.
Yes, annual snowfall is about 3"

Hey People! Well, if you have been checking the weather for a snow day, I tell you The if it says 12 inches or more, that is a lot of snow and unless you live in a strict town, then you will get a snow day, so if you have been keeping your fingers crossed that the 12 inches of snow will be a snow day, congratulations! You can kick back and relax tomorrow!
Central America does not receive snow. Mexico receives snow in the central and northern region. Australia has been known to receive snow and Africa also gets snow in high elevations. The states that receive the most snow in the U.S. are Alaska, Arizona (Northern Region), New York and Pennsylvania. The only U.S state not to receive snowfall (regularly) are Mississippi, Florida and Alabama

The difference in texture is really based on when you are feeling the snow. Right after a snowfall, the snow is fluffy. Then the snow hardens.
It will snow whenever a snow storm comes your way. If you don't get clouds that drop snow, then you will not get snow. And there is also the temperature and humidity and such and what not to consider.
December 31,1963 Meridian, Mississippi had a total of 14.0 inches of snow.
our snow is not thick enough
Because it is to hot.
The lowest temperature recorded in Mississippi was -19 degrees Fahrenheit recorded on January 30, 1966 at Corinth, Mississippi.
Orson Pratt and Erastus Snow
Only an inch - there isn't accumulating snow most years.
Yes, though no nearly every year. Average snowfall is less than 1" annually.
there all southern states all part of the confederacy all very humid
Which one do you believe has more mountains? Which state do people snow ski in the winter? Snow usually falls on higher elevations. Mississippi often floods during heavy rain storms do to some low land. Do you think that maybe Colorado might have a higher elevation?
Due to all the snow up north that melted and heavy rainfall the Mississippi River can't hold that much water anymore that's why its flooding

One of our westies adores the snow, puts her snout in it, plays in it, and will stay out for hours. She goes on the screened porch in below freezing weather. She is a purebred. Our rescued Westie hates the cold and snow, does not linger. She came from Mississippi so I guess she is just a southern girl at heart.
