They are forecasting snow flurries for our area in Florida. Can you believe that? It is insane. It is bad enough that so many people are sick and we don't need that. I have seen snow here and don't want to see it again. Not everyone feels the same way as I do. What about you? What is the weather like in your area and is it crazy or on par for the season? Do you enjoy snow?

I bet some people there who haven’t seen snow will love it. I had seen it too much in PA and hate it so I’m with you. No snow!!

@shaggin I got sick of it a long time ago. I moved here in 2002. A friend passed from cancer and I thought to myself, life is too short, I'm getting out of the snow belt.

I lived in upstate New York for years. We found out what snow is really about. I moved to Florida to escape the icy winds, the bitter cold, the hazardous driving, and other winter grief, and don't want it here. It has been eerily cold here.

We don’t get a lot of snow, so I welcome it when it comes. It is 60 degrees right now, but Saturday it will be back down to the high 20s, and Monday we will likely get snow. This will just be our second time this winter for snow.

What do you like to do in the snow or in the winter? Do you look out the window or get involved in it outside?

@akalinus I just like the picture it makes. Watching it fall, or when so much has fallen it’s a landscape of white. I also love seeing my dog, Sadie, bounding about in it.

@AmbiePam Snow can be beautiful and serene but not months of it. I liked when the moon was full and the snowdrops were huge. It was a magical time. I also liked when the sun shone on the snow and It looked like millions of sparkling diamonds. Yes, dogs love it, most of them, anyway.

We might get some snow on Sunday to usher in the new cold front. I can remember being in Northern Fla. years ago, and it was certainly cold enough to snow.

I am hearing that Monday will be cold and snowy. I hope it does not go on too long or too often.

I keep forgetting it is summer in your half of the world. We are braced for unusual cold here. What do you like to do in the summer?

@akalinus Stay cool!! We're not beach people. It's cooler in the south so sometimes we might go camping down that way.

I am a winter lover, probably because I was born this month. We still have some snow from last week's snowstorm.

As I had perhaps told you realizes; we don't have snowfall happens our northernmost states where some of our holiest places are located. I have never been there though I want to enjoy the scene. We now have a very cold weather here. It is around 9C. Two years ago it had fell up to 5 C. I enjoy the weather.There are many more we enjoy.

I can't figure out why it is so cold in places that are usually hot. I don't do well in cold and snow.

@akalinus You and I seem to be just opposite. I enjoy cold and want to live in a place where snow falls.

I've never lived in a place with snow - what are snow flurries? It's summer here as we are in the southern hemisphere.

We don't have snow here. Coldest months here will be from December to February but the weather has been cranky. Light drizzle to moderate rain in December which there should none. Lots of people are sick too

Yup just heard about snow and ice in Florida, I am miserable as it is in Daytona Beach and I hope it warms up quickly, I used to enjoy snow when I lived in Latvia and I liked to go walking in the woods but now I got used to the sunshine here and they give me all this cold,

The weather in Lake Charles is partly cloudy with colder temperatures expected in the evening hours but no snow. I do enjoy snow even though it seldom snows in south Louisiana.

We have that in common. I think it snows more where you live than where I live.

If Florida gets snow, then here in Jamaica we will get cold weather . I believe it has to do with the arctic cold coming down from Canada.

I enjoy a beautiful snowfall, but I know not everyone else does. One thing about you having snow, it won’t last long and you won’t be affected by it for very long.

Snow can be beautiful at times. It blankets the earth in a silent world. Sometimes the snowflakes are huge and other times the sun creates diamonds on the snow. I don't like snow for months.

I am surprised Florida is forecasted to get snow flurries. I think climate change is for real and is impacting different places across the world in different ways. And Florida is the surprise entry with snow and all these changes. I like cool condition but not condition. The temperature at my place has decreased and well it is around the 19C mark. Well, it used to be while Oct to Dec. This time it is little late but I feel something is not right. Maybe perhaps of teh climate reports around the world becuase most locations are stating they are colder than what it was earlier. Well , I am not a cold climate loving person. Take care!
