Is Florida Going To Have Some Iowa Weather?

LOL, a "track-dependent, non-zero chance"....

This means this is all wishful thinking, and I don't understand why anyone would wish for frozen water all over the damn place.

A Florida Man
You certainly are a Florida man. It means that aren’t hyping anything. This is the first time the NWS has even acknowledged the chance.

@DFSNOLE ... why the "love" reaction? Ice and snow is likely to result in dead Floridians.... ain't nobody knows how to drive in that shiit!
Every kid around here wants it to snow. If it does, I can't wait to take my grandkids sledding.

The fact YOU can't drive in the snow doesn't translate to everyone else. Just another example of you projecting on all Floridians.

It's not going to stick to the ground. Might be enough snow sticking to cars to make a hood snowman.

Again, you have no idea what you're talking about. Here we'll start with sleet, then freezing rain then snow. Right now, 3-5 inches of accumulation is being forecasted. The high for the following day is supposed to be 33°.

I'll say this for you, you have no problem proving your ignorance.

It doesn't matter what the high the following day is, it depends on the ground temperature when the snow falls on it.

And the ground retains a lot of heat.

The forecasted high in Tallahassee is 41 the day preceding the storm. Not like the ground is going to be that hot.
 
I have a work run up into much of Virginia next week. Lows of 5,6, and 7 are projected during that run.
Aight. Wear gear.
 
The snow is fun and all but the threat of a bad ice storm in North Florida is troublesome with what it can do to the bazillion trees here. I lived in Omaha when this hit and can still remember the trees cracking and power outages.

Bad stuff.

Only pulling for the snow.

Tell me genius, was the ground frozen in Atlanta and other places in Central Georgia last week when it snowed 2-3 inches and stayed on the ground for a couple of days?

Your constant refusal to admit being wrong just makes you look dumber and dumber. And, that is difficult.

As the Operations Manager of my company’s Tallahassee, Panama City and Pensacola offices, this morning I prepare to do the unthinkable:

Send an all staff email to keep an eye on the weather this weekend and prepare for cancelling all field work and being able to work from offices Tuesday and Wednesday. Sent many of these emails for hurricanes last 10 years but never for this. And before you Iowans mock us, keep in mind there is not one single salt truck in the state of Florida. We don’t even have signs on bridges about ice. It will be a shit show for natives unfamiliar with iced roads who go out driving thinking their 4WD will save them.

We do have "bridge will freeze before the road" signs up here.

I would add that if anyone has summer tires or worn out tires on their car they should stay off the roads. They will have no traction and will get in and cause accidents.

As a lifelong northerner, my take is that snow is fun for kids, pretty for people to look at for those who don’t have to shovel or clear it, and an accident machine for drivers, even here. I don’t worry about me but the dipshits around me who might lose control and hit me. In FL, I would guess for every grizzled DFSNOLE, there are 20 teenaged clueless drivers or people with the wrong tires with the wrong skills. All it takes is one dipshit to cause a chain reaction of mayhem.
