The front page weather story on Jan. 20, 1977 began like this: Record-shattering cold that created heavy snow flurries for the first time ever in Palm Beach County also caused a flurry of problems with crops freezing, schools closing, power failing and ducks dying.

Snowflakes fell in the Treasure Coast and as far south as Homestead. It was a brief flurry that left just enough of the white stuff for school children to scoop up a snow-ball’s worth off car hoods. The remnants melted by 9:30 a.m., according to news
