A combination of very cold temperatures and strong north-to-northeast winds are producing ocean-effect snow flurries offshore and along the coast of east Central Florida, especially near Cape Canaveral, according to the National Weather Service.

The flurries will continue into the early afternoon hours before temperatures modify, causing the light snow and flurries to change over to very light rain or drizzle.


No accumulation of snow is expected. The last time flurries were recorded across east Central Florida was in December 1989.

Shit, the only warm place I've ever seen beaches covered with snow was in Portofino Italy -40 min. from Nice- and that looked a little freaky! Must suck for those ol' snowbirds! Leaving the north to catch some good sun and warm temps only to get some snow on beaches and frigid temps down south.

I'm leaving for Belize next week...so please Amun Ra, let it be 90 there!

yeah, it's freezing here, in Tallahassee. I forgot my hat at home today, and my ears almost fell off while I was waiting for a bus. That's how cold it is!

I remember that...that was on Christmas Eve the first winter I lived in Florida. I hope it snows for me again.

Saizen, Belize is beautiful...you're going to enjoy yourself so much. I'm jealous!

Flurries were also reported in Daytona and Deltona which aren't too far from me. Maybe we'll get some tonight.

That's what everyone has been telling me. Man I can't wait!!! I'm sooo excited!!! My g/f and I have never been there and we've been doing some research on it. We'll be hitting the zoo, doing plenty of snorkeling and nothing short of streaking and hard sex!

And don't worry I'll bring back one of those 10lb conch shells for ya!

The zoo is excellent. I think I liked the folliage more than some of the animals though. I brought home some odd leaves and seeds from there. I also took a boat ride down a river and searched for monkeys in the trees and some some of the biggest lizards...some as big as gators only more beautiful. Enjoy the trip!

Yeah FL makes you soft. 30 degrees feels like the end of the world.

Yup...FREEZIN here in FL! It's such a novelty for us here...I'm enjoying it. My daughter's getting gloves on so she can play with the ice in the birdbath. It was empty yesterday so she filled it last night so it would have ice today. Me...I'm gonna stay inside for a bit...not ready to get all bundled up and head out!
