Let it Snow...

Christmas came early, and I saw snow in Tampa today. It tasted like soap. And evaporated before it hit the ground. But still, for this Florida girl, it was a nice treat.



My all-time favorite snow story is from the one time it's ever snowed in South Florida... January 1977... Jim Lushine, a meteorologist with the National Weather Service in Miami, was driving home from his shift about 4:30 a.m. A light rain, interspersed with little white flecks, was falling. He thought they were snow of another kind: cocaine spilling from a smuggler’s plane.
