The Great Philadelphia Snowpocalypse: A Cautionary Tale of Sunshine and Dust Bunnies (Seriously, Where'd the Snow Go?)
Let's face it, Philadelphia. We're starting to look a little...suspicious. Remember snow? That beautiful, fluffy stuff that used to blanket the city and turn parking into a gladiatorial free-for-all? Yeah, me neither.

The Streak Continues...Uncomfortably
Tip: Focus more on ideas, less on words.
That's right, folks. As of today, it's been [insert number of days since it last snowed in Philadelphia] since a respectable inch of the white stuff graced our fair city. We're officially breaking records, surpassing our grandparents' tales of the Great Snow Drought of '72. Is this a weather anomaly? A sign of the apocalypse? Or maybe, just maybe, a giant snowball fight is brewing up in Canada and they're saving all the good snow for themselves? The possibilities are endless (and slightly concerning).

Sunshine and Sadness: How We Cope
 |
So, what's a Philadelphian to do in the absence of our seasonal snow-based shenanigans? Here are a few ideas:
QuickTip: Pay close attention to transitions.
- Channel your inner ice sculptor: Stock up on shaving cream and attack your bathroom with a spoon. Just remember, practice makes perfect (and don't blame us if your significant other throws you out).
- Embrace the beach bum life: Who needs snow angels when you can build sandcastles? Just pretend the ocean breeze is a rogue gust and the seagulls are taunting you like snowbirds.
- Invest in a high-powered fan: Blow those winter blues away (literally) and convince yourself it's a mini blizzard. Just be careful not to take an eyebrow with it.
Looking Ahead: A Prayer for Precipitation
Fear not, fellow Philadelphians! Spring (well, technically summer now) has sprung, and with it, the hope of a return to normalcy (or at least some semblance of a real winter next year). In the meantime, let's raise a glass (or a snowball, if you can find one) to the good ol' days of snow days, snowball fights, and the existential dread of parallel parking in a snowstorm. We'll get through this, together. Maybe.

How-To: Embrace the Snowless Void
- How to channel your inner meteorologist: Download a weather app and become an armchair expert. Bonus points for dramatic pronouncements about "la Ni�a" and "atmospheric pressure."
- How to build a convincing snow fort out of pillows: Fluff is key! And don't forget to leave a strategically placed spritz bottle for that authentic "snowball fight" feel.
- How to explain the lack of snow to your children: Distraction is your friend. Disney on Ice? Sledding down a giant pile of laundry? Get creative!
- How to convince your neighbors you actually enjoy the lack of snow: Shovel a path to your mailbox while whistling nonchalantly. Maintain eye contact.
- How to prepare for the inevitable return of snow: Stock up on rock salt now. Thank us later.
