Thought he/she was replying to "you'll be in Chicago, what diff does it make" comment. His/her reply was 'possibly 2014", so I wrote the 'sooner the better'. Good riddance. Not wishing for a hurricane. I live too close to the beach.

I'm in northern Tampa, close to Pasco so it could happen on our chilly nights, but it hasn't yet. I used to live in New England (22 years in MA, 6 in CT) and snow was so normal in the winter. 6 inches... nothing is closed. Here, an inch would shut down the city!
Its always better in New England as many such as yourself boast, yet somehow you like to brag some 1300 miles south of New England.

It could snow more often inland and even to the Everglades (on occasion) here as snow can fall at 38 F. however weather patterns aren't inclined for it to be so. Winter is the dry season and cold air masses are dry. After the cold front passes it takes time for the colder dry air to arrive by that time there is no precpitation the dew points have dropped and the high pressure has arrived, except on very rare occasion. This would be the most severe fast moving due south diving arctic High Pressures that over run the speed of the front.
Even if and when this happens it would be even more extreme to see accumulations you want to see in your chaos dream. Thats because the air temperature can be freezing (rare) but the ground temperature is much warmer and nothing will stick, and just below the soil top the temperature is even warmer. In your scenario you need some longer term cold air that would be bitter and record breaking. The kind that would mess up your house possibly. See this isn't New England where the ground gets frozen like a rock and snow sticks and the sun is at such a low angle it has a hard time to radiate to melt the snow or heat the earth. Here thats not the case the earth will get sun to warm up some.
What you really want to see is the chaos such cold events play on the natural things like plants and animals such as manatees and birds. Nature suffers as well as humans who can recover but I am sure your chaos would make a agricultural business owner want to say a few words to you after his crop, fish or ornamental horticultural is wiped out and he can't help his family, workers or pay the bills
Hahaha such fun you old crinkly New Englanders are.

But I get I been up to Worcester and Manchester and get a laugh when a thundershower dumps 3" of rain in 20 minutes and causes chaos with all the little covered bridges on the creeks floating away. Funny sort a chaos or when the nights don't dip below 80 and dewpoints in the 70's after highs in the 90's and old folks coffins are lined up in the halls in Boston hospitals cause of the heat wave. Somehow we don't have that here, but we have old folks? What gives?

I don't wish a hurricane to hit Tampa Bay or any other place. Some people on this forum think the area is somehow protected from hurricanes.
