  • 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, most of the major cities in Florida have never recorded measurable snowfall, though trace amounts have been recorded, or flurries in the air observed few times each century. According to the National Weather Service, in the Florida Keys and Key West there is no known occurrence of snow flurries since the European colonization of the region more than 300 years ago. In Miami, Fort Lauderdale, and Palm Beach there has been only one known report of snow flurries observed in the air in more than 200 years; this occurred in January 1977 (though debate exists as to if this was rime or snow). In any event, Miami, Fort Lauderdale, and Palm Beach have not seen snow flurries before or since this 1977 event. Due to Florida's low latitude and subtropical climate, temperatures low 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 southern and southeast Texas (around McAllen and Houston) and parts of coastal southern California at low elevations. 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. (en)
  • Для американського штату Флорида сніг є рідкісним явищем, особливо в центральних та південних частинах штату. За винятком сходу і району Джексонвілла, у більшості великих міст Флориди ніколи не було зафіксовано схожих опадів; натомість спостерігались лише сильні пориви вітру. За даними Національної служби прогнозу погоди, у Флорида-Кіс та Кі-Вест ніколи не випадав сніг. У Маямі і Палм-Біч, а також у районі Форт Маєрс, існує лише одна згадка про снігопади в січні 1977 р.

  • 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。 (zh)
