<P> The Cold wave of January 1977 produced the only known trace of snow in the greater Miami area of Florida ever reported , although the city itself did not report any snow ( a trace of snow was documented in Lake Worth ) . 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 moved far to the south across Florida , causing both snow flurries and record low temperatures . Most notably , the weather system brought snow flurries ( seen in the air , but not on the ground ) as far south as Homestead on January 19 . No snow had ever been reported in south Florida before or since . 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 . </P>
