Is Florida Going To Have Some Iowa Weather?

Who cares what trad says. He is a maroon.

Talked to my cousin who lives in Panama City, He is more worried about ice taking down power lines than snow. He has seen plenty of snow before, My Uncle was stationed in Michigan for a bit but moved to Tyndall AFB in the early 70’s and made their roots there.

We had an ice storm in 2014 that was bad enough to shut down 200 miles I 10 for several days. I don't remember any power issues.

Wunderground is forecasting rain starting Tuesday after noon at 45’, turning into sleet by 9pm when temps hit 32. Low of 28, just ice all night.

Wednesday is shaping up to be WFH day.
 
Fortunately, Trad said the snow and ice won't stick to the roadways because the pavement surface is too warm.
How about plowed fields or shady grass areas? Dirt roads, of which there are many in NFla? Sidewalks on the North side?
 
Every kid around here wants it to snow. If it does, I can't wait to take my grandkids sledding.
That's what started this thread derailment. I guarantee there will not be anywhere near enough snow on the ground to go sledding. I stand my my prediction. Might there be a little bit of snow in a shady ditch? Sure. Good luck sledding on it.

Are there hills in Florida?

No. You went on to say that, despite what the meteorologist were forecasting, even if it showed 3", there would be no accumulation because it would immediately melt because the ground isn't frozen. That's not quite the same thing as above.

Both things can be true.

Snow can fall when the air is above freezing (because it's colder higher up). What do you think happens when snow falls on ground that isn't frozen surrounded by air that isn't frozen? That's likely to be the case in the panhandle if it even snows at all.

Depends how much and fast it snows. But you know that.

Btw, you failed to answer an earlier question. Was the ground frozen in Central Georgia last week when they had 3-5" on the ground for a couple of days?

It would need to dump a hell of a lot of snow in a hurry to see much stick around.
