THE NEXT ICE AGE - NOW!

12 Jan 11 - According to the National Weather Service, 49 out of 50 U.S. states - including Hawaii - now have snow on the ground.  Florida is the only state without snow. It is estimated that 69.4 percent of the country is currently covered by snow.

"It's not typical," NWS public affairs officer James Peronto told LiveScience.com.

"The Southern states don't typically get significant snow amounts through the year," Peronto said. "It takes a special kind of weather scenario to allow that to happen."

Though snow that covers most of the U.S. is a rarity, the last time the NWS recorded snow in all 50 states was last February.

With temperatures up to 25 degrees below average on the way, Florida may still get its chance.
