Snow in Florida-January 19,1977

       It was 34 years this week when a cold snap hit the normally subtropical State of Florida and brought snow to much of the state down to Homestead (just south of Miami). http://www.miamiherald.com/2009/02/03/886359_jan-19-1977-the-day-it-snowed.html
       In Tampa there was a more significant amount of snow, at least to Florida's standards. In some parts of central Florida, several inches of snow were unofficially reported. http://www.baynews9.com/article/news/2012/january/371641/Weather-blog:-Snow-in-Tampa,-Jan.-19,-1977 While the snow was merely a novelty in Miami, there was enough in other parts of the state to have an impact and cause a few problems.
