  • The reference does not say that was the only snowfall in Bahamas, just that snowfall was reported there. You need another source to say it was the only snowfall in Bahamas. Also, you should quantify South Florida a little better. I'm sure Fort Myers could be considered South Florida. --♫ Hurricanehink (talk) 16:39, 7 April 2012 (UTC)
  • Much better given what's in the article. ♫ Hurricanehink (talk) 18:49, 12 April 2012 (UTC)
  • Oh right, I forgot I had to do that. I am a bit concerned that the lede says that it was the only snowfall in those two places, which borders original research, but I'll pass it since I think it could be verified (and tweaked). Might I recommend changing the first sentence to "Miami area" instead of "South Florida", due to the concern about Fort Myers? I'll pass, hoping that'll be cleared up. --♫ Hurricanehink (talk) 02:54, 13 April 2012 (UTC)
Thanks. (The Bahamas weather service reference describes the snowfall there as "unique", which means "only" to me. And the lede change sounds good.) - The Bushranger One ping only 03:08, 13 April 2012 (UTC)
