U.S. Attempts to Set Record for Snow in Every State, Florida Goes and Ruins It

Right now there is snow present in 49 of the 50 U.S. states :

After big snow and ice events in the Southeast, Plains, and Midwest this week, 49 out of the 50 states currently have snow on the ground – yes, even Hawaii, where snow falls in Mauna Loa and Mauna Kea all winter.

Thanks a lot, Florida. We almost had it. Fifty states with snow. Even Hawaii got in on the act. But you just had to go and be different, didn’t ya? Would it have killed you to be a team player just this one time?
