Notice the sharp gradient as you head towards Jacksonville? I imagine the lows for NE Florida will hinge on when the wind switches to the NE. The later it happens, the colder they'll get.

A large part of Italy is hilly actually, the only part which is not is the Po Valley, but this part is also one of the coldest and sees snow regularly (i.e. at least a few times in a normal winter). Of course this is much less than in your area, but some strong episodes can happen.

I don't think such a law exists for Naples area or mediterranean places like Salento, but remember Italy holds the world's record for heaviest single snowfall, not Canada
Well, from what I gather you need to have chains in your car just in case. Those chains that you can attach to your (summer) tires. I suppose the law-abiding all have them, but maybe don't use them very often.

Wow. It's currently 8:35 pm here in Orange County, CA. Temps outside right now are 73 F, with a 31 F dew point and 21% humidity. Keep in mind I'm only about 3 miles from the coast as the crow flies.

It's common to have hot dry days mid winter, but rarely does it struggle to get down to the 60's, especially this long after dark. Considering how dry it was all day makes me all the more impressed.
