There is snow in Florida!

Here in Orlando, we just have a bit of a nip in the air (an a whole lot of rain). It's a completely different story up in the Florida panhandle, though. They have snow. Like stick-to-the-ground, ice-up-the-roads, legitimate snow. Icicles are hanging off mailboxes. I-10 is closed for 200 miles. No one's going to school and it's just not safe to go to work.

Here's a bit of photographic evidence, courtesy of Instagram.
