freezes during the night. Such cold weather is usually short lived, as the city
averages only 15 nights below freezing. Even rarer in St. Augustine than

touching the ground, or upon making contact with the ground. Most residents of
St. Augustine can remember accumulated snow on only one occasions—a thin ground
cover that occurred a few days before Christmas of 1989.
