Yep, unfortunately, it is the norm for some FL children. I know 23 and 24 year olds that have never seen snow, and they have resided in FL their entire lives. And to concur with the other posts. Unless you plan on vacationing in the North, and they actually have snow during the time you go, they will not see it. With all the global warming and things, the white winters are few and far between it seems nowadays. But sometimes they get it as early as Thanksgiving. If you are from the North, and have seen snow, I would imagine you want to give your children that sense of culture in thier lives. Don't worry about it though. Whenever you have the time to do it, it is on your time. My other suggestion for snow exposure in FL; however,is to look at community events. Sometimes this outfit advertises in the paper...sets up sledding hills and snowball fights down at the Twins Stadium or baseball stadium on Six Mile Cypress during the colder months here in FL. They bring in faux snow or a snow machine,..may be faux, but ya know, even ski hills up north do it too, and they are up there, go figure. BUT, it would be an opportunity for exposure right here in your "own backyard" so to speak. I took my oldest to one of the set ups a few years back and it was fun. I am not certain about the skating rinks in town, Ft. Myers and such...maybe they have a snow event too during the season. Worth checking out anyway for something fun to do, and C SNOW! :) Other than that, I was making a funny to my friends that I may fed ex some down in a cooler for them...not sure if it would last though. ;) My oldest son was born in MN, where I am from...so he saw it in the early years and when we visit there every other year or so, and my two younger sons, born in FL, I have taken to MN on vacation too to sled and enjoy winter fun, sledding, snow angels, snowmen making, etc... I have to say, they love it, still talk about it, and look forward to seeing it again. And a bit of funny trivia...apparently it snowed here like 32 years ago or something in SW FL I was told, so apparently it is possible every few decades...LOL. Have a Happy Holiday!
