Snow in Florida? Meteorologists say it's possible!

Flurries in Florida? Even Tampa Bay?

It's possible, according to ABC Action News meteorologists Shay Ryan and Greg Dee. Although it is a long shot, there is a slight chance that Tampa Bay could see some snow next Thursday, January 4... if all of the stars align.

There were flurries down here in Naples back in 1977. Never stuck to the ground but we saw them....

We had snow a week before Thanksgiving in the panhandle.

It comes about once every three years up here.

Yeah but the panhandle is hardly even Florida.

My one and only game in Tampa was that Lions game this year. In the morning when we went to the WTB tailgate, I could not believe how cold it was in Tampa. I’m from a place in Oz that is pretty much the equivalent in lateral/long and it never gets that cold. Mind you, I think it was an outlier as many people I spoke to said that weather was uncommon.

most of the southern United States, all it takes is "any snow" to shut schools down.

Florida has seen its share of weather warnings over the last year - hurricanes, tornados, floods, and more. But now, parts of the Sunshine State are under a rare winter storm warning.

The National Weather Service's Tallahassee bureau issued the advisory - their first in almost four years - this afternoon, warning that snow and ice, including the ever-popular "wintry mix," are possible across southern Georgia and even parts of northern Florida overnight.

"Cold temperatures will remain as a low develops off the Atlantic Coast of Florida," the NWS forecast said. "With below-freezing temperatures at the surface and a layer above freezing aloft, a wintry mix of precipitation is expected. Freezing rain, sleet, and/or snow will develop after midnight tonight through Wednesday morning."

Winter Storm Warnings have been issued across the Florida Big Bend and south central Georgia, with Winter Weather Advisories farther west. Snow up to 1-1.5" and up to 1/4" of ice is possible. See graphics for details: #flwx #gawx #alwx pic.twitter.com/BwamkTTaE8

Forecasters expect snow accumulations from 1 to 1½ inches in south-central Georgia. Florida's Big Bend region, from Tallahassee to Perry to Lake City, could get anywhere from a half-inch to an inch of the white stuff by midday Wednesday.

I'm outside right now, and it's really not that cold. I'm guessing 50's.

[uscbucsfan]

I'm not meant to be in weather this cold.

Got down to 8 here last night. Tonight will be a balmy 12. But, hey! At least it's dry. No snow or any other nasty stuff.

St. Petersburg. Same/same. Except we are a few degrees warmer because of the water.

Tallahassee checking in. We got real freaking snow this morning. It was coming down pretty good, too. Stuck on everything but the ground.

Got half a day off from work.
