- Remember when it snowed in Miami? January 19, 1977 was the first time in recorded history that snow fell in the Magic City. Meteorologist Steve MacLaughlin has more.
I was in second grade, and our school secretary's voice suddenly came over the P.A. system, saying: "Ladies and gentlemen, it is officially snowing in Miami." And although we were normally well-behaved little kids in our Catholic school, we shouted out a collective "Ohhhh!" and rushed over to the windows in the hopes of seeing it. We were later told that the snow was melting dozens of feet above us, but it was still a special day. We all went home to drink hot chocolate and to hear reports of flurries in North Miami. The newspapers the next day were filled with pictures of the places where snow had reached the ground. Unforgettable moments.
Having recently moved here from Connecticut after 35 years, I can honestly say I miss the snow, the fresh crisp air, the way the city looks coated in white snow, the snow days no school. I wish south floridians could experience it at least once here.
You can keep the snow
@@lunistylz322 on God😂😂😂😂😂foh
Was 8 years old and we got day Off from school in Polk County Florida, us Kids LOVED IT!!
I remember this. I was born in the Bahamas and I relocated to Jamaica in 76. I remember my mom telling me it was snowing there and I was disappointed that I didn't get to experience it.
Even the weather in Canada wanted to go to Florida for vacation
I was 3 and I remember my father saying it snowed.
Where is the footage in the thumbnail? 🤦♀️ 😂Clickbait.
Stop the cap
When I was a kid growing up in Florida I wished there would be a day where just once it would snow in Florida after my Mom told it did happen once before long before I was born. Sadly that never happened. I would probably be acting like a little kid if it ever did though being an adult now. Snow has always felt magical to me due to only ever seeing it in entertainment and outside the state which was also quite rare to see as well. (In fact I only saw it on mountains)
I looked it up. It really did snow in Miami 🤣
Remember that day like it was yesterday. Mom was scrambling to get us winter gear which was a fail. Haha.
Didn’t cancel school crazy enough and was devastated we couldn’t stay home and play in the snow. Went to belair elementary which had very few windows back then and was counting the minutes till the end of the school day only to walk out and find that all the snow had melted. Oh well, my parents split the following year and we ended up moving to ny where I still get my fill of snow. Haha
Of course! Frozen Buddy Canada is always the culprit for high pressure & freezing low temperatures.
Sent from a dude in Quebec, which is the weirdest province in Canada ❄️❄️💨💨
I remember I was 14yrs old
