The Cold wave of January 1977 produced the only known snowfall in the Miami area of Florida and The Bahamas. It occurred following the passage of a strong cold front, in combination with a high pressure area situated over the Mississippi River Valley. As a result, cold air spewed across Florida, causing both snowfall and record low temperatures. Most notably, the weather system brought snow as far south as Homestead on January 19.  It has not snowed in South Florida since as of 2015. Additionally, snow was reported in Freeport on Grand Bahama. Damage was most significant to agriculture, as major losses occurred to Citrus fruits and tender vegetables. Statewide, agricultural damage from the cold wave totaled to $350 million (1977 USD), and losses overall totaled to $2 billion (1977 USD). One fatality occurred due to an automobile accident in Central Florida, which was related to the cold wave.
