    Arizona. Most of New Mexico doesn't snow unless you go in the mountains. Most of Texas usually doesn't snow. Most of Nevada doesn't know. Hawaii does not snow. Tennessee and Georgia don't snow a lot.

    We got hail, not snow. The only time I can remember snow in Florida was when I was super little like maybe 5 or 6, it snowed, but as soon as it hit the ground it melted.

    Although the rest of the island chain enjoys warm tropical weather the entire year-round, there have been "freak" cold storms a few times this century that have brought local snow storms down to as low as 3000 to 4000 feet. This snow has melted very quickly, however. ..

    guess i shouldnt have edited out the part that said unless you're on top of a mountain. i figured it cluttered up the post and people were cool enough to not be picky.

    Yup it snowed in 1989 (where I was) and yes we had ice last winter in parts of FL. We get hail all of the time.

    If you want to count places where it only snows about once every ten years, you can add these to the list:

    Louisiana
    Mississippi
    Alabama
    Georgia - except for Atlanta and area north of Atlanta
    South Carolina - except for the extreme NW corner

    It barely snowed here last winter, I only shoveled once, maybe twice.

    We've never had a snowless winter, though, it would be too strange to me.

    Same here last winter sucked; for that matter the last two winters [​IMG]

    The weather pattern changed last year and the storms we usually get were diverted south and the mid-atlantic got crushed with tons of snow

    From Yahoo news, February 2010. 49 states with snow at the same time.

    :)


    excerpt:


    "49 states dusted with snow; Hawaii's the holdout

    By SETH BORENSTEIN, AP Science Writer – Sat Feb 13, 9:50 am ET

    Forget red and blue — color America white. There was snow on the ground in 49 states Friday. Hawaii was the holdout.

    It was the United States of Snow, thanks to an unusual combination of weather patterns that dusted the U.S., including the skyscrapers of Dallas, the peach trees of Atlanta and the Florida Panhandle, where hurricanes are more common than snowflakes.

    More than two-thirds of the nation's land mass had snow on the ground when the day dawned yesterday, and then it snowed ever so slightly in Florida to make it 49 states out of 50.

    At the same time, those weird weather forces are turning Canada's Winter Olympics into the bring-your-own-snow games."
