Should You Bust Out the Winter Coat?
Probably not. Most weather sources predict zero snowfall for the foreseeable future. That's right, folks, it looks like you can safely store those winter boots next to your New Year's resolutions (we all have them)
Tip: Read at your own pace, not too fast.
Where Did These Snowpocalypse Rumors Even Come From?
Ah, the wonderful world of the internet. There was some speculation earlier about a potential wintry mix, but it seems that gossip mill was fueled by wishful thinking (we all dream of a white Christmas...in May?) than actual meteorology.
QuickTip: Copy useful snippets to a notes app.
But What If I Like Surprises (Especially Snowy Ones)?
Look, anything is possible in this crazy world. Maybe a rogue cloud will decide to dump a surprise flurry on your head. But statistically speaking, you're more likely to get sunburned (don't forget the sunscreen!) than snowed on.
Tip: Reread key phrases to strengthen memory.
