Irresistibly Funny Mistake

It was surprisingly cold this morning, the coldest of the winter (I think), but clear and bright once the sun was clearing the rooftops.  Perhaps a light touch of frost, but not as heavy as earlier in the month. So imagine my surprise when AccuWeather showed this:
It has snowed in the area over the 35 years I've lived here.  Twice.  Neither was more than light flurries.  Needless to say, it's a rare thing when snow appears in the forecast and heavy snow here is unprecedented.  The National Weather Service said 0% chance of any precipitation.

I couldn't help but laugh at it.  And, no, it didn't.

  1. I remember it snowing on Christmas Day in 1973 in Satellite Beach. Flurries struck our front window and then melted.

    First time I ever saw snow in real life.

    1. I didn't move here until 1982, so missed that. The two I'm thinking of were in the mid-80s, I think around Christmas in '86 or '87, and I'm hazy on it because I was out of town when it happened. The other was back in January of 2010. I didn't see it, but friend out near Lake Washington told me he had flurries at his place. I know I watched a thermometer that day and it never went above 34.
