    RTS: Snow

    SNOW: We found a list that Bradford didn’t make — places where it has never snowed.

    Farmers’ Almanac compiled a list.

    Key West, Fla., has never had snow, frost, ice or sleet. “That’s because Florida’s low latitude and low elevation hinder temperatures from getting cold enough for snow to fall, let alone accumulate on the ground.”

    Yuma, Ariz., is another one. It’s one of the sunniest and driest cities in the U.S., conditions unfavorable for wintry weather. “Snow has fallen there only once since 1878.”

    Miami, Fla. “While you may not be shocked to see Miami on this list, you might be shocked to learn that the city has observed snow before, albeit only once, when flurries filled the skies for about an hour during a January 1977 cold wave.”

    Honolulu, Hawaii. “The coldest temperature ever recorded in Honolulu is 52°F back in January 1969 – much too mild for snow. In fact, snow has never fallen anywhere on the island of Oahu in recorded history.

    “Snow does, however, fall several times a year on the other Hawaiian Islands, namely at the summits of the three highest mountains – Mauna Kea, Mauna Loa and Haleakala – where the high elevations make it cold enough for snow to form.

    “Surprised cities like Los Angeles, New Orleans, Charleston or the Death Valley region didn’t make the ‘no snow’ list? Even places like these with balmy weather reputations have seen snow at one time or another, if only once every few years when an unusually strong cold front plunges farther south than normal.”

    The article goes on to say that each of the 50 states have experienced snow at some point, but five states — Florida, Louisiana, Georgia, Alabama and Mississippi — have it the least often.
