In case this winter hasn't been weird enough, the universe threw snow into the mix ... in Florida.
According to the University of Florida Weather Center website (and many bewildered social media posts), flurries hit Gainesville and other parts of North Florida on Saturday morning after a cold front moved through the state Friday.
The flakes coincide with a blizzard chugging through the Northeast, expected to drop two feet of snow in Washington, D.C., according to The New York Times.
While the Floridian flurries came and went quickly, several shocked residents took to social media to share photos and videos.
