Does it snow in Mississippi

Answer 1

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.

Answer 2

Snowfall in Mississippi is rare due to its mild climate, with the northern part of the state experiencing occasional light snowfall during winter months. However, significant snowstorms are infrequent and typically do not accumulate to significant levels.

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.
