Talk:Snow in Florida

message: It says:
:Frost is more common than snow, requiring temperatures as high as 45 °F (7 °C), a cloudless sky, and a relative humidity of 65% or more.[1]
(My bolding). This wording seems odd. I assume the latter half of the sentence is referring to frost conditions, not snow. Shouldn't it read '...temperatures no greater than 45 °F (7 °C)'? Or if it's trying to emphasize that 45 is an unusually high temperature for frost, read e.g. 'Frost is more common than snow, requiring a cloudless sky and a relative humidity of 65% or more, though it can arise in temperatures as high as 45 °F (7 °C)'. Also, does it require this or only involve this? (E.g. I assume frost can occur even if there are some clouds.) Ben Finn 14:03, 20 February 2007 (UTC)

message: AccuWeather.com shows that Lake City, FL has a 25% chance of snow in 24 hours (as of 8AM EST Monday, Jan. 12, 2009). Also, is it because of a higher population, or is Florida getting more snow events than it used to in the past several years?
:The reason there are more reports of snow in Florida in recent years is because of the increasingly well-documented weather, as well as the growing population. –Juliancolton Tropical Cyclone 14:36, 12 January 2009 (UTC)

message: This entry and citation:
December 28, 2010: Light snow was reported at Tampa Executive at 1AM and 5AM local time, following a rare freezing fog event around midnight. [26]
Was this report on Weatherunderground from an automated weather station? I believe it is, and if so, it cannot be trusted to accurately differentiate between fog, drizzle, mist, and snow. They are notorious for reporting snow when it isn't snowing. I would not cite this event as an official snow report unless there is more data to back it up, such as a special weather statement or public information statement from the NWS that confirms there was a valid snow report.69.153.141.54 (talk) 03:32, 6 January 2011 (UTC)

message: Neelix, you removed multiple dead links in various edits in July 2012, but general Wikipedia policy is not to remove dead links merely because the URL is not working, unless they are verified spam ones, useless, or you are absolutely certain that the ref cannot be found. You can check the Internet Archive and WebCite for archived links, or search for relocated urls using the site's search functions or Google.
In this edit, you removed a sentence and dead link, but after using the site's search function, I've found the relocated url, so I've put the content and new citation back in (old citation had errors). And another dead link you removed has archived versions here. I've re-added some of the wikilinks that you removed, and linked them from the appropriate text or to the see also section, since they are relevant and useful to readers.
Also, Marketdiamond next time can you completely fill in citations like these? You've been here since 2005; I thought you would've known how to properly cite refs by now. I've filled them in for you. - M0rphzone (talk) 08:23, 17 January 2013 (UTC)
replies: text: I didn't see this message until now, M0rphzone. Thank you for adding the archived urls. I do try to only removed deadlinks when I believe them to be irretrievable; I am not very familiar with how to track down meteorological references in particular. There are currently several more deadlinks on this article. I have nominated the list to go up on the main page here. Any help you can provide in addressing the concerns that are raised there would be greatly appreciated. Neelix (talk) 20:25, 14 June 2013 (UTC)
replies: text: Neelix, I've updated the dead urls in refs #12 and 14 with WebCitation archives. If there are no archives, you can try searching the site through a search engine (using the "site:" function) or the site's own search, or try using the given data in the cited sentence (date and location) to find the file manually. Example: for the NCDC data, you can use the site's IPS (Image and Publication System) interface to find the pdf scans for a particular location and date. For finding the original accessdate of a bare url, you can use WikiBlame to find the revision that added the url (make sure to force searching for wikitext). - M0rphzone (talk) 05:34, 15 June 2013 (UTC)

message: This article is great! It has many facts (with supporting sources) and is very informative. I like how all the incidents of snow are in order by date so they are easy to follow. It allows the reader to see the true evolution and the frequencies in which snowfall has occurred in the state of Florida. I also liked how they included the exact cities in which snowfall was reported. This also helps the reader to recognize patterns in which areas of the state of Florida in which snowfall has been seen. This is very helpful for students using this resource to write reports on this topic. In general, I think this article is great and very informative.
Nothing is perfect so I do also see some room for improvement with this article. The biggest improvement I can see being mad with this article is keeping the article accurate and as updated as possible. One thing I did notice was that the dates in which snow has impacted Florida stopped in January of 2016. With it now being April of 2016, more incidents with snow have been reported to media but not to this article so that's something that could be updated. For example, within the last few years, there have been at least five reports of snowfall that have not yet been added to this article. The best Wikipedia articles are those that are as accurate and are as up-to-date as possible. Also, some of the links for the sources are outdated, causing them not to work. This could make it difficult for users wanting to seek more information on the subject or for students writing reports that may need use those links for a bibliography or for citations. Overall, I think it was a great article that could simply use some more updating ;)
