According to the same source, Jackson gets 0.6" per year. Should be on here.

It's 0.6 days of snow, but 0.9 inches of snow (at https://www.currentresults.com/Weather/Mississippi/annual-snowfall.php).

It wasn't a blizzard, but I remember driving through a snowstorm in Jackson in the 1970s. I guess we were lucky enough to be there during the 0.9 inches for that year.

Of course. It has a temperate, continental climate. Hot, humid summers, and cold snowy winters.

Not really Britain is temperate it basically never snows here and rarely goes below freezing and in the summer rarely goes above 25 degrees.

I think I've seen the UK's climate compared more to Washington/British Columbia, which fits given it's coastal and around the same latitude. I don't think we'd get the extremes of a region far inland even if we were as far south as Kansas.

Oh yes. Hot as balls there in the summer, mild-warm in the winter. No snow whatsoever.

I thought that was odd too. Seems far north enough that it should at least get some snow, but then...stats don't lie.

Yep, really. Sacramento is far enough north but it's also just barely above sea level. Hot in the summer and mild in the winter. Rarely does the temperature drop below freezing and even when it does it's usually just for a few hours in the middle of the night. It is however only about an 1.5 hour drive to snow in the Sierra.

i was thinking the same thing. I always drive thru Sacramento to go skiing. So many times, shortly after Sac, it's time to put on the chains. Hard to believe that is doesn't snow there, since it is so close to Tahoe where there is massive snow.

I grew up outside Sacamento at an elevation around 600' and we'd get dustings of snow every couple of years. Sac at an elevation of only 30' I bet would be pretty rare

Me too! Looking at a map, it looks like Atlanta is maybe twice as far inland as Columbia, so maybe that explains it.

I was in Columbia waaay back in 1987, in basic training at Fort Jackson, and it snowed for the first time in a long time. It was only a couple inches, but the entire area just shut down because nobody knew how to drive in snow and they didn't even have the equipment to clear the roads.

It snows quite frequently in Atlanta...its essentially in the foothills of the Appalachians and is the highest (1050 ft) major city east of the Mississippi. Not unusual to wake up to temperatures in the 20's during the winter.

I've lived in Atlanta for over 17 years, and I wouldn't say it snows "frequently". Maybe if you are talking about the northernmost portions of the metro area, but even then I think "occasionally" would be more accurate. You're right about the winter temperatures, but they don't often coincide with the moisture necessary to produce significant snowfall.

Not often, and usually less than an inch when it does. Sometimes we have snowstorms that cause accumulation of more than an inch, but they are few and far between. I would have thought they were rare enough that Atlanta would appear as an answer on this quiz, but apparently not.

It snowed during the day in Tallahasse in 2017. Now my young daughter expects it to snow every year. Needless to say, it hasn't since.

Surprised not to see Olympia or Salem here. Most of the Pacific Northwest lowlands get very little snow. It gets cold in the winter, but usually just freezes.

There's very little, and then there's less than 1" a year.

A single day of medium-light snow can easily beat that.

By virtue of being by far the most elevated state capital. Forget "mile-high" Denver, 'cause Santa Fe has nearly another 2000 feet on it.

If it snows in Columbia, then it snows in Atlanta. I’ve lived in both states.
