Walt Disney World rarely gets accumulated snow in the parks (1977 was the last measurable amount of .05”) , but Paris, Tokyo,and Shanghai have all seen their castles covered with snow at some point in time. (Technically Anaheim sees “snow” on their castles every year as part of winter decorations).

Things we don’t ever expect to see in the South is snow, and 2-6 inches of snow in our area is even rarer. So all my southern friends and followers, take the time in to build the snow man, make Snow Cream, and just play!
