FL Florida "Snow"

My wife woke me up this morning telling me there was "snow" on the cars. I walk outside with the camera and find this.




I told her, that might me snow where she's from(san fernando valley), but real snow requires a shovel.

Sorry for the dirty car and bad picture quality, I just woke up and yesterday I ended up driving a 300 mile round trip.

Snow has to fall from the sky, not just show up in the morning.

I'm just mad because you're in stupid Florida...

"Oh, its chilly today, lows in the 50s"

Jerk.

Its 21 degrees in Ohio and it feels like a freakin' heat wave from the single negative temps last week.

I knew it was frost when I got up. And I'm pretty sure we don't have road salt OR snow shovels. I was getting all kinds of crazy looks this morning driving with the sunroof open and windows down with the temp at 28.

hmm?

i will not clutter this thread as to reasons why the planet is getting warmer. whether its man made or a natural cycle is beyond the point.

using your first post to post a statement like that?

hmm?

its very possible that this year will be the first year that we see no ice in the arctic over the summer.

each year the ice has been less and less. doesnt that strike you as odd?

hmm?

Sorry Kersh,

I was completely kidding... I did not want to start a political debate. I do understand the possible causing factors and implications of global warming.

Please continue on with the thread.

Yeah I read Key West was getting "record lows in the 40s over night" a few weeks back. I could only imagine how those people reacted.
