Cold wave of January 1977
The Cold wave of January 1977 produced the only known snowfall in the Miami area of Florida and The Bahamas. It occurred following the passage of a strong cold front, in combination with a high pressure area situated over the Mississippi River Valley. As a result, cold air spewed across Florida, causing both snowfall and record low temperatures. Most notably, the weather system brought snow as far south as Homestead on January 19. Although other portions of the state have since experienced snowfall, it has not snowed in South Florida since. Additionally, snow was reported in Freeport on Grand Bahama. Damage was most significant to agriculture, as major losses occurred to Citrus fruits and tender vegetables. Statewide, agricultural damage from the cold wave totaled to $350 million (1977 USD), and losses overall totaled to $2 billion (1977 USD). One fatality occurred due to an automobile accident in Central Florida, which was related to the cold wave.
==Meteorological history==
Beginning on January 16, a strong arctic cold front began crossing the state of Florida. Two days later, another cold front crossed Florida, while a strong arctic high pressure system over the Mississippi River Valley also began pushing cold air into Florida. Simultaneously, an upper-level trough associated with the second cold front contained a band of clouds and precipitation. As a result, the cold wave brought both snowfall and abnormally cold temperatures across the entire state of Florida. It is unknown when the cold wave dissipated, though the associated cold air began to subside on January 21.
