I prepped for Tallahassee’s impending winter storm with the leisurely pace and skepticism of a South Florida native who had made it to 27 years old without ever seeing real snow.

On that day, snow fell in South Florida for the first time in recorded history. According to an article from the NWS, snow was seen across all of southeast Florida as far south as Homestead and even on Miami Beach.

Snow fell in Florida's panhandle on Tuesday & Wednesday, blanketing roads, closing businesses and schools. Florida residents who had a rare snow day were seen in photos and videos making snowmen and having snowball fights. Meteorologists say the snow may stick around until Wednesday, but won't reach Tampa.
