佛罗里达州降雪纪录

美国佛罗里达州地处北美洲东南沿海的佛罗里达半岛，大部分地区属亚热带，最南部则属热带，南部沿海大多属于热带气候地区，下雪是非常罕见的事情。一般来说只有在反气旋带来寒冷且干燥的风时气温才有可能达到冰点。与雪相比，霜要常见得多，要求气温在摄氏7度以下，海拔2米以下，天空无云且相对湿度在65%或以上。如果要让这一地区下雪，不但北极的高速气流必须向南通过德克萨斯州进入墨西哥湾，而且还要正好遇到停滞的冷锋结合冷空气形成锋面云。整个州内大部分地区一年到头都没有任何降雪，美国本土只有德克萨斯州南部和加利福尼亚州部分地区有类似情况。 1900年以前佛罗里达州的大部分下雪信息是来自美国国家气象局提供的杰克逊维尔地区信息，因为这个原因，其他地区的信息会相对较少。佛罗里达州有记录的最早一场雪是发生在1774年的暴风雪，一些对下雪很不习惯的居民称其为“不寻常的白雨”。杰克逊维尔历史上的第一个“白色圣诞节”是由1989年12月23日所下的一场雪带来的。全州最近一次下雪则是在2018年的1月2至3日，一场冬季风暴使整个佛罗里达州北部降雪。 1899年2月，居民在佛罗里达州议会大厦的楼梯上打雪仗 1989年12月23日杰克逊维尔下了雪 2003年1月24日下雪的卫星照片 2014年1月28至29日的下雪预报，佛罗里达州西北部预测会有超过25.4毫米降雪量 Ritter, Michael.
