The Great New York SnowApocalypse (That Never Happened)
Ah, New York City. The city that never sleeps... except maybe when it gets buried under a blanket of a foot (or ten) of snow. But fret not, fellow citizens (and concerned snow enthusiasts), because as of today, the only thing falling from the sky over the Big Apple is a healthy dose of sunshine and maybe a rogue pigeon feather or two.

So, what's the deal with the snow?
There have been whispers on the wind (or maybe just on Twitter) about a potential snowstorm hammering the concrete jungle. But fear not, these rumors are about as substantial as a bodega egg sandwich. The National Weather Service is predicting clear skies and temperatures that would make a Floridian blush.
But what about those dramatic weather reports?
Look, we all love a good weather drama. The meteorologists with their furrowed brows and dire warnings. But here's a little secret: sometimes, the weather likes to be a bit of a tease. Just like that time you swore you packed an umbrella, only to get caught in a downpour with nothing but a sad bagel in your bag.
The truth is, predicting the weather, especially in a city as temperamental as New York, is an art form, not an exact science.

So, can we officially declare winter over?
Hold your horses (or should we say, defrost your ice skates?). May is a bit early to be waving goodbye to Old Man Winter just yet. There's always a chance for a surprise flurry in the coming months. But for now, it's safe to say that the only thing getting "snowed under" in New York is your fear of a winter wonderland apocalypse.
