The highest pont in Florida is only 345 ft above sea level. The "snow capped mountain" in Hawaii is Mauna Kea 13,796 ft above sea level. Air is colder at higher elevations. (I used to go to the observatory on Mauna Kea- people look at you funny when you get on an airplane in Hawaii carrying a parka!)
