Let it Snow
Moving to Florida from the Midwest, I often get asked the question, “Don’t you miss the seasons?” What do you mean? Don’t I miss the winters when it would get down to -44 degrees wind chill, where I’d wear flannel lined pants, scarves to cover my face so I could barely see, my eyes watering as soon as I left the building, my fingers turning purple and my body being numb because it was so cold outside? Nope, can’t say that I miss that. Though, I do miss that fresh coat of snow that lines the street when you wake up in the morning. Is it going to make me move back? Highly unlikely.
So what do you do if you live in Florida, and you want that white snow experience? Head on over to the Dolphin Mall. That’s right, snow flurries are predicted at this mall in Miami. From November 26th until January 4th, Dolphin Mall’s Magical Snowfall will take place in the Ramblas Plaza. This will take place at 7 pm daily and at 9 pm on the weekends. Children are encouraged to participate in this magical experience by waving magical wands (available to children under 12 whose parents sign up for the mall e-bulletin). When they wave their wands at promptly 7:00 pm, the snow will return during the daily holiday show.

Growing up in Chicago, I understand the 44 below zero wind chill and not wanting to live it again!!! there’s nothing like serving Christmas dinner outside on the patio on an 80 degree day.
Haha! Well I still go back for Christmas, but staying in the cold for that week is more than enough. Always hoping that there will be record breaking temperatures. I still remember that one Christmas when it was 70 degrees outside and I was running around in shorts.
