Florida's winter storm blanketed Tallahassee in snow and sleet Wednesday and residents made the most of it. See pictures, videos of the winter fun.

I prepped for Tallahassee’s impending winter storm with the leisurely pace and skepticism of a South Florida native who had made it to 27 years old without ever seeing real snow.

A major storm spread heavy snow, sleet and freezing rain across parts of Florida, resulting in a "once in a lifetime" experience for one Tallahassee couple and their two kids who got up early Wednesday to enjoy the snow.
