Florida has been known to get snow, up in the panhandle, but it doesn't last. It snows in Georgia.

I lived in Ft. Lauderdale for 27 years, and it only snowed once. It was 1977, and it melted as soon as it hit the ground. One must head north, to Jacksonville at least, and the is a long drive.

Would there ever be a chance that it will snow in Florida?

Yes, in Florida it can. Here are some memorable events... FLORIDA Jan. 2008 = Snow flurries reported near Daytona Beach. Jan. 2003 = Snow flurries reported near Cocoa Beach. Dec. 1996 = Snow flurries reported in western panhandle. Jan. 1996 = Snow flurries reported along the west coast. Mar. 1993 = The "1993 Superstorm" drops a couple inches of snow in the western panhandle Dec. 1989 = Snow, freezing rain and sleet is reported in much of Central and North Florida. Jacksonville has a white Christmas. Mar. 1986 = A half inch of snow accumulates in Jacksonville. Mar. 1980 = A quarter inch of snow accumulates in Jacksonville. Jan. 1977 = A swath of snow sweeps across the entire state. Accumulations over an inch are reported well south into central Florida, and flurries are spotted all the way to Miami and Fort Lauderdale. Feb. 1973 = A snowstorm dumps several inches of snow in northern Florida. An unofficial report indicates that a few isolated areas may have seen up to 8 inches. Feb. 1958 = 1.5 inches of snow accumulates in Jacksonville and 2.8 inches accumulates in Tallahassee. Mar. 1955 = Snow falls in the panhandle. Dec. 1952 = Sleet and snow is reported in northern Florida. Feb. 1951 = Up to 2 inches of snow falls in NE Florida. Jan. 1935 = Pensacola receives 1 inch of snow. Nov. 1912 = A dusting of snow falls in north Florida. Feb. 1907 = Flurries fall in Jacksonville. Dec. 1901 = Light snow falls in Jacksonville. Feb. 1899 = "The Great Blizzard of 1899" hits Florida with a punch. Blowing snow is reported in much of Central and Northern Florida with several inches of accumulation in a few areas. Temperatures fall to -2F in Tallahassee, which stands to this day as the state's all-time record low.

Why does snow not melt when you hold a lighter next to it?

It does, but snow is about 90% air, and effectively acts like a sponge around any liquid water; so, as the snow melts, it is subsumed into the rest of the mass of snow. Carbon deposits from unburnt butane may also lodge on snow, if the lighter is held too close. All of this can occur with normal snow; which does not mean that you may not have some 'chemically nucleated snow,' however.


Why do Americans get a snow day when they have an inch of snow?

Not all schools receive snow days just because there is snow on the ground. For instance in the northern part of the country where cities often get heavy or large amounts of snow are more prepared (they have supplies of sand and/or salt to deal with ice as well as many trucks equipped with snow plows). The amount of snow necessary to close schools and businesses could be quite high and usually only happens when it is too dangerous for vehicles to drive until snow can be cleared as much as possible. The southern states which don't receive much snow and therefore don't really need these supplies in large amounts and therefore don't have them readily available for large storms which is why they are more likely to have snow days with very minimal snow on the ground. It could also be that there isn't much snow but the roads are very icy.
