Forecasters couldn’t rule out the possibility that Tallahassee could see a record snowfall on Tuesday or Wednesday morning from a rare winter storm that may be talked about for generations.

Tallahassee gets a trace of snow every now and again — in 2010 and 2004, for instance. But measurable snow has fallen only eight times since 1891.

The Tallahassee area is under a rare Winter Storm Warning for a potential weather event that would be remembered for generations. Freezing rain, sleet, snow and rain are expected Tuesday night into Wednesday to combine for a wintry mix that could disrupt daily life.

Tallahassee campus, the ERCCD, the FAMU-FSU College of Engineering, FAMU Developmental Research School (DRS), Crestview Peaden Campus, and Quincy Extension Farm will be closed. Food services will transition to brunch hours of 11 am – 6 p.m. The Venom Shuttle will run from 11 a.m. to 8 p.m.

The executive order comes after a Winter Storm Warning was issued for the Big Bend and South Georgia areas Monday afternoon.

Senate President Ben Albritton announced that out of “an abundance of caution,” Senate offices will close Wednesday, and 20 Senate committee meetings scheduled for Wednesday and Thursday are also canceled. House Speaker Daniel Perez confirmed identical cancellations have been made for the House and 20 meetings its members were to have this week.

Writing this forecast as a snow lover feels like I’m writing weather fanfic, but the reality may be ones for the records books.
