It seems like we are in a cycle of warmer November and Decembers than previously in a couple of decades for sure. But we also seem to have cooler January, Feb, March and Aprils too. It seems to balance out, we just don't have as many days below freezing in North Florida as we did growing up.
Seeing this living in the midwest laat 8-10 years.
Just to state something here...and maybe you both know a bunch about this. However when you understand the difference in our weather when we are in a La Nina, or El Nino some of these patterns make more sense!!
Yea we got a decent dump overnight Sunday and throughout Monday.
I ran the snowthrower for the neighborhood (making sure I took care of the single moms really well, and the old people, for wildly different reasons) both yesterday morning and this morning.
I'd say we got about 6"-8" total. Yesterday AM my 24" Ariens got bogged down a few times, which rarely happens.
Snow isn't that odd for us, the crazy low temps are. We're not seeing 30 for over a week, overnight lows in the mid to high teens.
This global warming is freezing me to death here in NW Florida!
1. FJB voters...easily spotted
2. This happened on my boat about 25 years ago as I was fighting a sailfish I hooked 10 miles out here in the Gulf on 20lb test line. Was not storming when I hooked it, however thunderstorm came up on us fast...and I was NOT cutting and running. Thank God it was only a runner like the first strike here.
3. Lighting don't play
Much to do about nothing............but @Capt Ron 1 , did you see that motor cowling?
😂Somebody has a sense of humor? ahamay ? Or is that a reverse image trick played by the camera on YAMAHA? I don't think I've ever seen that in photography, unless recorded in a mirror?
Many videos are played from the wrong side online. I had to do a double take! LOLMuch to do about nothing............but @Capt Ron 1 , did you see that motor cowling?

I'm in SC but I'm from Florida. With all this cold I thought about heading down to Florida to get out of this mess. Looks like I will have to head to the Keys if I want to get warm.
One of my cousins went on a chartered fishing trip a couple of weeks ago out of Key West to the Dry Tortugas. He said he was miserable, froze his ass off. 😂
We rarely get snow in north Florida, but I've seen it happen a few times. It's kind of cool. I remember about 30 years ago watching idiots driving up and down steep hills and sliding backwards and causing all kinds of insurance claims. 😂
I believe it was 1972 when my ship was in the yards in Boston. There was no snow on the ground in Boston. I flew home to Pensacola and there was 4-6 inches of snow on the ground. I don't think the weather guessers predicted this.
I have lived in FWB for 6 decades, and for the first time we have snow accumulation forecasted. We typically MAY see flurries for veey short period s of time every 7-10 years...but have never seen accumulation in the forecast!
It actually snowed pretty good in Jacksonville and Lake City in 1989 right before Christmas. The roads were a nightmare where there were steep hills. It was a circus, nobody here knows how to drive on ice and snow. 😂 We had about 2 inches of ground cover in Lake City. I remember the date and year because I left Jacksonville around midnight and there was not one other single vehicle on the interstate than myself. The FHWP had closed it behind me just seconds after I got on the road.
