According to this mornings weather reports, there is a possibility of
flurries tomorrow morning, but north of Orlando, more like the Villages and
surrounding areas. There might be some sleet here though. Depending on which
channel you believe, the HIGH for tomorrow is between 38-42 degrees.

Hope that helps,

Take care,

Bill

Back in November, the STL area's best meteorologists, Dave Murray with
Fox 2 (KTVI) predicted in his long term winter forecast that Dallas and
Orlando would experience snow this winter. Dallas has had snow 2 or 3
times, now, and it seems the Orlando forecast is going to see fruition.

Is this a new chapter for Blizzard Beach?

What happens if it actually snows in WDW? Do they have plow/salt
equipment? What rides close? Do they play snow golf on the golf
courses?

I'm sure it's snowed down there before, but the snow probably didn't
stick around. And I'm sure it's a nightmare for the landscape CM's.
But 2 to 3 inches would be wild...

I'm 10 miles North of The Villages and they are calling for rain tonight and
a temperature of 28 degrees.
I wonder what happens to rain at 28 degrees ? <g>

Could be either freezing rain (not fun either) or snow.

I'm in the Seattle-Tacoma area and we're having lots and lots of rain. I
was born and raised here so I'm used to it, but I keep telling myself it
could be worse, that rain could fall as snow (which it did last year) and
I'd rather deal with the rain. If I want snow, it's just an hour's drive to
Mt. Rainier.

But our low tonight is only supposed to be around 40 F.

Anyone that's seen both will tell you snow is a heck of a lot easier to
drive in. Sleet and/or freezing rain make for miserable road conditions.

I find it extremely ironic that Blizzard Beach (according to reports I've
seen) is closed due to the cold weather.

And just plain weird that it's actually warmer here in Portland, OR than
in Florida! (Predicted high of 47F, with possibly a break in the rain
this afternoon.)
