Would You Believe lt? Yesterday It Snowed Here.

Tweet

The temperature outside, here in central Virginia, was 45 F and it was snowing. It didn’t stick on the ground and it didn’t last long but it was definitely snowing. For me, this proved what I had seen in Okinawa in 1961 or 1962. I’m not sure if it was the first winter I was there or the second winter. The temperature outside was about 40 F and it was snowing. In fact, supposedly, it was the first time that snow had actually been recorded in Okinawa and I was there to witness it. When I tell people about it, they usually don’t think I’m telling the truth, because Okinawa is a semi-tropical island and snow would be very unusual, to say the least. Now, I have proof that it can snow when the temperature outside is WELL ABOVE freezing. I did read that it has snowed in Miami, Florida. So that is very unusual also. Sometimes, I guess, the upper levels of the atmosphere are much colder than the ground temperature and therefore, snow can happen. It floats down and then melts immediately. I was definitely shocked when I saw it snowing though, and yesterday I immediately went to the weather channel to see what the outside temperature was. Very unusual.
