If you have one of those copper backflow preventors sticking up in your front yard, wrap it up to keep it from freezing.
If you really get snow two years in a row your kids can tell their children how they had to walk to school in the snow. Both my Indiana parents claimed that.
I actually do walk my kids to school. They used to complain a little about the colder mornings, but not any more. They are building character at a rapid rate!
Thanks! I saw S&G in 2003 in Tampa-- last show of their tour. The crowd refused to leave and got an unplanned third encore, which was Mrs. Robinson for a second time because they'd already played all of their rehearsed songs. I've never seen that happen since.
Albany has a good chance of seeing at least some snow, though more than 1" would be surprising. Thomasville has a better chance of seeing flakes than Tallahassee, but it's marginal.
You forgot about the Great Florida Snow event of January 1977, when it even snowed in Miami. Unfortunately, I was stuck in the aforementioned New Jersey at the time, where it was really cold.
The late 70s were certainly extreme winters in the northeastern U.S. I just pulled some climatological data and the average low temperature in New Jersey in January 1977 was about 12F. That's a kind of sustained cold we haven't seen in several decades.

Looking good here in south Port St Lucie/Palm City.
No accumulations expected for you. Have the iguanas made it that far north these days?
Happy (late) New Year! Starting off with a banger mood choice.
Much as I'd love to, I won't ask about the Space Coast and snow. I know better but a boy can still hope...:-)

Any ideas about snow chances in Thomasville and Albany?

Thank you!!!

I mentioned 1977 in last week's column (https://weathertiger.substack.com/p/fire-and-ice-the-weathertiger-newsletter) but left it out of this one because it wasn't a big snow producer in the Panhandle and isn't the best match for the current pattern.
