Good times, parents took a pic of us kids that morning when we lived in Cutler Ridge. Out back drop was that of a canal!!lol
That’s almost 19,000 years from now
January 6. A day in infamy. Snowfalls, insurrection, what next.
is this a Ford Granada?
My father moved his young family from northern Wisconsin to central Texas in 1979. We lived there for 3 years. One of those years there was about 3 inches of snow on Christmas Day… I was ecstatic. My neighbors, who had never seen snow, had kids my age. We had a snowball fight… I smeared snow on their faces. They cried. I was so confused…
That was actually cocaine.
Fire and brimstone needs to come to Florida
Vintage Climate Change.
The only time I’ve ever been to Miami was around Christmas Day in 1989. The official temp was 30 degrees, but the thermometer at our hotel read 26.
It’s pretty wild to see the reactions of people in areas where it rarely snows. I’m from the northeast US so snow ain’t no thing up here. An old buddy of mine has family down south in Georgia. One year he was down there for the holidays and it dropped like an inch or two. Shut the town down. His brother in law had this big jacked up 4×4 that my buddy was like, “We’ll be able to go anywhere in this, shit, my dumpy little Cavalier zips around this kinda snow, it’s not bad at all.” And his brother in law was like, “Nah man. Can’t risk getting stuck.” I mean, granted they arent really prepared to handle snow because they don’t really need to be but you’d think they’d be able to deal with a couple little inches of fluffy white stuff.

The photo was taken in Tampa, not Miami. I was a kid in Fort Lauderdale on that date and we had flurries, but none of it stuck to surfaces. It was pretty exciting.
I want to know how they perfectly wrote in the windshield snow without any lean marks? Superb.
Well,
This is Tampa Bay and last I checked, it is June not Jan.
I assure you Miami has plenty of “snow” year round
That’s about how much it snowed one time at my house near Oakland in the 60s. I had never seen snow before, but it was on a Sunday so of course we had to go to freaking church, and when we got home it was all melted. One of my earliest reasons to question religion.
This will never happen again….sad
That was an epic snow year for sure. Up in Michigan we got like 8′ of it.
In Buffalo this picture would just be all white. Blizzard of ‘77, baby.
Any chance this was related to the major blizzard we had around the same time in IN?
I remember that. Had a second job working overnights at a gas station on Federal Hiway in F Laud. Walking home with snow falling through the palm trees was a trip.
It did snow in Miami that day, unfortunately I, a teenager slept thru it. Less snow than that car tho from what I was told.
The very next morning I was standing on the Capitol Mall in Washington, DC watching Jimmy Carter’s Inauguration. It was cold as fuck.
Oh yes global warming for sure
No global climate warming, it snowed in Miami in 1977! /s
I was there for it too
I remember this. Gawd, I’m old!
That is way cool
(pun slightly intended)
Yes I was 14 and lived in Plantation, next to Fort Lauderdale. Our first and only snow day day.
I was in 5th grade at Broadview Elementary in Pompano Beach that day. Our class was in “portables” then; we all bolted outside to enjoy the flurries.
