Glaciers don't 'hit' anything, they are formed by thousands of years of snowfall that doesn't melt and thus compacts and stays in place on high, cold mountains, moving very slowly downwards. There are glaciers on some of the mountains in the Andes.

Where glaciers ever covered Florida?

No, glaciers never covered Florida. During the last Ice Age, which peaked around 20,000 years ago, the northern parts of the United States experienced significant glaciation, but Florida's climate and geography remained too warm and stable for glaciers to advance into the region. Instead, Florida has been shaped by its subtropical climate and unique geological features, such as limestone formations and wetlands.
