how is that possible...it is 48F there with a dewpoint of 31F. Those type of numbers don't add up to snowfall. Strange..

[Extremeweatherguy]

Nevermind..you are right! Holy crap..this is EXTREMELY rare. Especially for November! I lived in Orlando for most of my life and can not really ever remember it snowing (even in the heart of winter):

I know. Who would have thought that was possible? Today has been a day of winter extremes in the SE. First there was the earliest ever snow in Charleston, SC with the only ever thundersnow on record there...and then now snow flurries in central Florida. Crazy.

here is a very detailed article:

We were in Orlando all week, vacationing at Disney. We didn't see any snow that Tuesday night. We were in Animal Kingdom and Caribbean Beach Resort that night, so maybe it was snowing at the MGM.

It was definitely chilly, but I prefer it that way over 80's with ~100% humidity.

yeah, most of the flakes stayed just north of the theme parks. I am with you though...chilly weather certainly beats heat and humidity when you have to stand in lines all day.
