Snow in Florida - wikipedia Snow in Florida Ice and snow as seen from an FDOT camera on the Bay Bridge in Pensacola, Florida following a winter storm on 28 -- 29 January 2014. Much of the Panhandle experienced significant ice buildup ( from freezing rain and sleet ) followed by a light snowfall. It is very rare for snow to fall in the U.S. state of Florida, especially in the central and southern portions of the state. With the exception of the far northern areas of the state and the Jacksonville area, most of the major cities of Florida have never recorded measurable snowfall, have only recorded trace ( T ) amounts, or have only reported flurries in the air, usually just a few times each century. In the Florida Keys and Key West there is no known occurrence of snow flurries since the settlement of the region. Due to Florida 's low latitude and subtropical climate, temperatures cold enough to support significant snowfall are infrequent and their duration is fleeting. In general, frost is more common than snow, requiring temperatures of 32 ° F ( 0 ° C ) or less at 2 m ( 7 ft ) above sea level, a cloudless sky, and a relative humidity of 65 % or more. Generally, for snow to occur, the polar jet stream must move southward through Texas and into the Gulf of Mexico, with a stalled cold front across the southern portion of the state curving northeastward to combine freezing air into the frontal clouds. While light snowfall occurs a few times each decade across the northern panhandle, most of the state is too far south of the cold continental air masses responsible for generating snowfall in the rest of the country. The mean maximum monthly snowfall in most parts of Florida is zero. The only other areas in the continental United States with this distinction are extreme southern Texas and parts of coastal southern California. Much of the known information on snow in Florida prior to 1900 is from climatological records provided by the National Weather Service meteorological station in Jacksonville, and information for other locations is sparse. The earliest recorded instance of snow in Florida occurred in 1774 ; being unaccustomed to snow, some Jacksonville residents called it `` extraordinary white rain. '' The first White Christmas in northeastern Florida 's history resulted from a snow event that occurred on December 23, 1989. Contents 1 Events 1.1 Pre-1900 1.2 20th century ( 21 reported events ) 1.3 21st century ( 16 reported events ) 2 See also 3 References Events Due to larger populations and more advanced communication networks, snow events are witnessed and reported much more frequently in recent years than in historical eras. Interpretations of this timeline must therefore be made with caution, as observed patterns may not reflect actual climate - related trends in annual snowfall but rather improved reporting. Pre-1900 Snowball fight on the steps of the Florida Capitol, February 1899 December 19, 1765 : A `` white frost '' fell in the northern part of the British colony of East Florida `` of short duration, and of no material detriment to the agricultural interests.
