There's snow in florida? Snow fall in Orlando, Florida

The East Coast United States' weather has been colder than in the past but never so cold that it was snowing in Florida. But that's what's happening today: snow in Florida. Snow fell in Orlando, Florida and Volusia, Seminole, Orange and Lake counties in central Florida (around Walt Disney World), have all seen snow.

According to the National Weather Service, Williamsburg, Florida, also next to Disney World, has a 7-day weather forecast that includes a wind chill warning, a hard freeze warning, a wind chill advisory, a freeze watch, and a fire weather watch.

The National Weather Service reports it's currently "Cloudy and cold, with a high near 37. Wind chill values as low as 29. North northwest wind around 15 mph" and it's going to get as cold as 14 degrees at night with the wind chill factor.

The snow is such an unusual site that Florida residents have taken to YouTube to post videos of the event.

This video is from Ocala, Florida, and posted today:





And this snow in Florida video features a Florida snowball fight:



Unbelievable.

The forecast is for warmer weather near the end of next week.

Stay tuned.
