This museum is in Milton, FL. I saw about 3" of snow on their flatcar in a closeup photo of that car. I wonder if the local hardware stores even sell snowshovels.

Milton, Florida: Water Station – Tank and Pump House, Louisville & Nashville Railroad. When this photograph of L&N’s Water Station at Milton, Florida was taken on 14 February 1917, the tank was about 17 years old and the Pump House only 2 years old. Various structural and mechanical components of both had had major maintenance work between 1900 and 1917.

Update: The Jan 23 Chicago Tribune had an article about a storm that dumped snow from Houston to North Carolina. Of note: "A whopping 9.9 inches of snow fell near the small town of Milton, Florida, which would smash the all-time Florida state record for snowfall from 1954, if confirmed."
