It says:
(My bolding). This wording seems odd. I assume the latter half of the sentence is referring to frost conditions, not snow. Shouldn't it read '...temperatures no greater than 45 °F (7 °C)'? Or if it's trying to emphasize that 45 is an unusually high temperature for frost, read e.g. 'Frost is more common than snow, requiring a cloudless sky and a relative humidity of 65% or more, though it can arise in temperatures as high as 45 °F (7 °C)'. Also, does it require this or only involve this? (E.g. I assume frost can occur even if there are some clouds.) Ben Finn 14:03, 20 February 2007 (UTC)
I corrected the accumulation of 1993 Superstorm.
There were maximun 2 inches in Florida, not 4 nor 6. These accumulations were referred to more northern states like South Carolina and Alabama as you can read in the link. —Preceding

AccuWeather.com shows that Lake City, FL has a 25% chance of snow in 24 hours (as of 8AM EST Monday, Jan. 12, 2009). Also, is it because of a higher population, or is Florida getting more snow events than it used to in the past several years?
This entry and citation: December 28, 2010: Light snow was reported at Tampa Executive at 1AM and 5AM local time, following a rare freezing fog event around midnight. [26]
Was this report on Weatherunderground from an automated weather station? I believe it is, and if so, it cannot be trusted to accurately differentiate between fog, drizzle, mist, and snow. They are notorious for reporting snow when it isn't snowing. I would not cite this event as an official snow report unless there is more data to back it up, such as a special weather statement or public information statement from the NWS that confirms there was a valid snow report. 69.153.141.54 ( talk) 03:32, 6 January 2011 (UTC)Jasons

List of snow events in Florida → Snow in Florida – There are many reasons why "Snow in Florida" is a preferable title to "List of snow events in Florida". According to our policy on article titles, the title of an article should be as concise as possible, and "Snow in Florida" is by far the more concise title. Our policy on article titles also states that article titles should be consistent with each other, that titles should "follow the same pattern as those of similar articles". There are no other articles that follow a "List of snow events in x" format, but there is an article called Snow in Brazil. Furthermore, Snow event redirects to Snow, an article that does not even mention the term "snow event". Policy also advises us to use the most common name as the title of an article. Searching on Google Books, "Snow in Florida" gets more than 700 times more hits than "Snow events in Florida". Finally, there is no requirement for list articles to have titles that include the word "list". On the contrary, in cases where there is no title conflict with another article, it is encouraged for lists to omit the "List of" portion of the title in favour of conciseness (ex. 300 save club, Appy Awards, Bayreuth canon).

Neelix, you removed multiple dead links in various edits in July 2012, but general Wikipedia policy is not to remove dead links merely because the URL is not working, unless they are verified spam ones, useless, or you are absolutely certain that the ref cannot be found. You can check the Internet Archive and WebCite for archived links, or search for relocated urls using the site's search functions or Google.
In this edit, you removed a sentence and dead link, but after using the site's search function, I've found the relocated url, so I've put the content and new citation back in (old citation had errors). And another dead link you removed has archived versions here. I've re-added some of the wikilinks that you removed, and linked them from the appropriate text or to the see also section, since they are relevant and useful to readers.
Also, Marketdiamond next time can you completely fill in citations like these? You've been here since 2005; I thought you would've known how to properly cite refs by now. I've filled them in for you. - M0rphzone ( talk) 08:23, 17 January 2013 (UTC)
Are the entries supposed to be in present tense and written as if the events were happening at the time of writing? It might be better to write them in the past tense. - M0rphzone ( talk) 08:34, 17 January 2013 (UTC)
In the monthly snowfall graphs, the units of the horizontal axis should be marked.
Is it really true, as the graphs seem to show, that the 21st century has so far seen 70% of the amount of snow of the whole 20th century? This huge increase seems eminently noteworthy, yet it does not seem to be mentioned anywhere in the text. 86.176.211.173 ( talk) 12:12, 28 October 2013 (UTC)
It was really cold in the Cape Canaveral area on January 28, 1986, but does anyone know if there was actually snow? I know there was ice, but I'm not sure about snow. A lad insane (Channel 2) 17:28, 27 December 2016 (UTC)
This article is great! It has many facts (with supporting sources) and is very informative. I like how all the incidents of snow are in order by date so they are easy to follow. It allows the reader to see the true evolution and the frequencies in which snowfall has occurred in the state of Florida. I also liked how they included the exact cities in which snowfall was reported. This also helps the reader to recognize patterns in which areas of the state of Florida in which snowfall has been seen. This is very helpful for students using this resource to write reports on this topic. In general, I think this article is great and very informative. Nothing is perfect so I do also see some room for improvement with this article. The biggest improvement I can see being mad with this article is keeping the article accurate and as updated as possible. One thing I did notice was that the dates in which snow has impacted Florida stopped in January of 2016. With it now being April of 2016, more incidents with snow have been reported to media but not to this article so that's something that could be updated. For example, within the last few years, there have been at least five reports of snowfall that have not yet been added to this article. The best Wikipedia articles are those that are as accurate and are as up-to-date as possible. Also, some of the links for the sources are outdated, causing them not to work. This could make it difficult for users wanting to seek more information on the subject or for students writing reports that may need use those links for a bibliography or for citations. Overall, I think it was a great article that could simply use some more updating ;) Kcoburn2 ( talk) 23:34, 12 April 2017 (UTC)
