Remember? Saturday marks 34 years since Jacksonville’s last white Christmas

Do you remember? Snowstorm hits Jacksonville in December 1989

JACKSONVILLE, Fla. – It has been 34 years since Jacksonville has seen snow!

On Dec. 23, 1989, those who lived in Duval County sled down the Dames Point Bridge, had snowball fights, and even made snowmen!

The historic event resulted when arctic air pushed temperatures below freezing through Florida with ice accumulating down to Miami.
