Florida Has One of the Only American Cities That Has Never Seen Snow
Snow in Florida is a rare thing, indeed. But, it does happen. Anyone who’s lived in Florida long enough knows that in certain areas of the state, it can get chilly. Of course, it’s nothing like the Midwest during the winter, which is why so many people flock south. The want to get away from the piles of snow and ice. But, if you really, really hate snow, there’s some good news here. Florida has one of the only American cities that has never seen snow.
First, let’s look at one Florida city that’s gotten snow not super regularly, but a few times in the past decade. Going north in the state, it’s not uncommon for Tallahassee to get a trace of snow. But, measurable snow is another thing. In January 2018, according to Weather.com, Tallahassee got some serious winter weather (at least serious for Florida). That included measurable snowfall, sleet and freezing rain. It melted pretty quickly into the day, but it was a special moment for those who had never seen a measurable amount of the white stuff.
Moving onto the Florida city that’s never seen snow. The Farmer’s Almanac has a story about the places in America that have never gotten cold enough to get any snow. “As the summer sun fades and chillier nights and mornings begin to creep onto the calendar, your thoughts might turn to that four-letter word which some of us love, and others love to hate: snow,” they state. “You may wonder: What are some cities, states, or countries where it has never snowed?”
Florida Has One of the Only American Cities That Has Never Seen Snow
One of the only cities that it’s never snowed in is Key West, Florida. “Not only has Key West never experienced snow, it’s never seen frost, ice, or sleet either,” the article states. “That’s because Florida’s low latitude and low elevation hinder temperatures from getting cold enough for snow to fall, let alone accumulate on the ground.” Lucky Key West.
Holiday Dating Do's and Don'ts
Don't Move Too Fast
If you’re started dating someone you really like, it might be temping to bring them to Thanksgiving or Christmas dinner. But, that could also freak them out. I remember going out with someone just once and getting invited to a holiday dinner. It made me a little uncomfortable, because even if I liked that person, it seemed like a big jump. So, if you do want to invite that new love to a holiday family event, make sure to talk it over with them and give them the option to say no.
This young couple is totally surprised by moving too fast.
Don't Go Crazy on Gifts If You're in a New Relationship
If you’re in a newer relationship, resist the temptation to buy your new love too much for Christmas. “Oh, he’s a Packers fan! I’m going to buy all the Packers gear I can find!” Just don’t do it. It’s okay to give gifts, but keep it small if you haven’t been together long, or you might look insane.

Do Give Small, Meaningful Gifts
If you’re in a new relationship, you should get something for your new partner during the holidays. But, as mentioned above, don’t overdo it. A small, meaningful gift will likely be welcomed during the holidays and not scare your new love away.
This small gift is perfect for the holidays.
Don't Freak Out If You Don't See Your New Love As Much During the Holidays
Maybe you’re used to seeing your new love a few times a week. What if that’s just once a week, or less, during the holidays? Don’t freak out or start crying or anything. The holidays are a busy time for all, and that means schedules change.

Do Be on Good Behavior at Holiday Parties with Your New Love
You might get invited to some fun holiday parties or work parties by your new love, and you might want to invite them to yours. That’s fine and much less pressure than a family event. But, be on good behavior. Don’t try to be the life of the party or anything, as you might mortify your date. Sometimes, people like to overdo it in the early stages and try to really impress, but you really just need to be yourself when meeting new friends and chill out a bit.
