That day, Jacksonville experienced its last major snow event, delighting residents with an unexpected winter wonderland. People were seen sledding down the Dames Point Bridge, having snowball fights, and crafting adorable snowmen. It was a time when arctic air dipped temperatures below freezing, resulting in snow flurries and even accumulation reported down to Sarasota!
