Snow in Talahasi? A rare and magical event for FSU – its campus

This article was written by a student writer from her campus in FSU head.

Every Florida resident is used to school or work that has been canceled for an extraordinary time. From hurricanes, strong winds and torrential rains, the students in Florida will miss an average of 20 days of school every year because of the time – but for snow? This is rare now.

The snow in North Florida is so rare that this phenomenon is only found every 10 to 20 years. However, this year, Florida certainly did not expect to get more snow in two days than Alaska throughout the winter season. Between the late hours of January 21 and the early morning of January 22, Florida received between six to eight inches of snowfall. Snowflake blankets and sidewalks covered for days. This unexpected time also broke the 130-year record for overall snowfall in the area.

This rare winter surprise was exciting for FSU students, but not for the first time in the long history of the school that the snow fell. Although only a handful of history throughout history, it remains a spectacle once in a generation. So, how many times Talahassi has seen snow and can it happen again soon?

The first and most notable recording of Florida’s snowfall is the great blizzard since 1899. On February 13, 1899 A measurable snow.

In March 1954 there was also some snowfall in the area, but nothing was compared to the great blizzard. The Snow Storm of December 1989 left a lasting impression, bringing nearly two inches of snow in the city and causing interruptions of electricity and closing the road. Before this January, the most recent snowfall event in Talahassi was a slight dust throughout the city in 2018.

While exciting and once in the lives of Florida residents, Talahasi and the rest of North Florida are not built for snow. After snowfall this year, he left nearly two inches in his waking a lev and ice on the roads.

More northern states are preparing for the winter months with routine salting of the road; However, Florida, unusual for winter weather, lacked the infrastructure to deal with the icy consequences. The roads became dangerously smooth, which led to the closure and delays throughout the city.

For FSU students, the snowstorm was equally exciting and chaotic. Some went to social media to document the rare view, while others went out to live their first real snowfall. The beats of the snowball and quickly built snowy people came out into the campus, adding to the novelty of the event. However, ice -covered paths and sidewalks lead to a week of missed hours.

So can Talahassi see another snowfall soon? Although history suggests that this may be another decade or two before the snow returns, this year the extreme time serves as a reminder that Florida’s climate, though usually warm, is full of surprises.

Whether it’s another blizzard or just a light dust, one thing is for sure – if the snow falls again into Talahasi, FSU students will be ready to make the most of it!
