I would say that is not going to happen. Many models, mainly the GFS are wrong this far out on snow totals. Of course, it also includes sleet and freezing rain as well but that won’t add up to that much. I’ve seen this before as well from previous storms that just ended up being rain. Some models like the ICON predict rain for this new storm.
Like clock work the models are now aligning, with the GFS predicting much more rain and mix, than snow than before in recent run. Where I live in upstate NY, the GFS was predicating 10 inches for every run, now it’s 3 with the 12z. We still have a few days before this event, but the models are now aligning on this storm track. This happened with the last storm too. The ICON and CMC have been right this year so far, the GFS is always off it seems.
Florida is between 30° and 25° N. It is not suppose to have winter. It is suppose to get mild winters with occasional cold shots, like it still does now. Just because you experienced a colder than normal years does not mean those were normal.
Global warming plus urbanisation has still made Florida much warmer than it naturally would be. Prior to the past few decades, Miami reached the 30s almost every year. Now, it's a novel event down there.
So I got a friend moving up here from Texas to live with us. My fiance flies down on Wednesday and drives back with her Thursday, getting back Friday... and guess what the forecast is for her town on Wednesday... snow! lol
Mother nature is prepping her for Midwestern weather. Now, if only we could get some snow up here. Such a dull winter this season.

30's are rare for me also and i am well north of Tampa but right on the gulf. Soon within 30 years 40's will be rare.
