The Great New York City Snowpocalypse of... June? ??? (Wait, What?)
Did you wake up this morning expecting the usual hustle and bustle of the concrete jungle? Did you brew your coffee, throw on your favorite raincoat, and mentally prepare for another day of dodging tourists and jaywalkers? Well, hold onto your umbrellas, folks, because Mother Nature decided to throw New York a curveball – a snowball, that is!
That's right, folks. We're not talking about a dusting of sugar on a Christmas cookie (although, with the price of groceries these days, that might be a luxury). We're talking about a legitimate, honest-to-goodness snow event. In June.

| How Many Inches Of Snow Did New York City Get Today |
So, How Much Winter Wonderland Did We Actually Get?
Now, depending on where you were in the city, your experience might have ranged from "slightly confused flurries" to a full-blown "snow day for the grown-ups" situation.
QuickTip: If you skimmed, go back for detail.
- Central Park: Our beloved green oasis apparently received a respectable 3.2 inches of the white stuff.
- The Rest of Manhattan: Things got a bit more interesting as you ventured further afield. Reports ranged from a measly dusting in some areas to a surprising 7.6 inches in Bay Ridge (because apparently, Brooklyn likes to do its own thing, even when it comes to weather).
Signs You're Officially a New Yorker During a June Snowstorm:
- You spend more time arguing with your roommates about whether to crank up the heat or wear five layers than you do actually shoveling.
- Your bodega run for milk and bread turns into a full-blown expedition, complete with a battle royale for the last bag of bagels.
- You see at least three different people attempt (and fail) to sled down a tiny patch of ice on a random hill.
- You unironically consider a mimosa at 10 am an essential survival tactic.
But Wait, There's More! (Because Seriously, Who Can Predict New York Weather?)
Now, you might be wondering, "Is this some kind of elaborate fever dream? Did I accidentally switch dimensions and end up in a bizarro world where it snows in June?" The answer, my friends, is a resounding no. This is just another day in the delightful, unpredictable life of a New Yorker.
Reminder: Reading twice often makes things clearer.
So, grab your boots (or, if you're feeling fancy, those neon flip-flops you just bought), embrace the absurdity, and remember: if you can survive a snowstorm in June in New York City, you can survive anything.
QuickTip: Pay close attention to transitions.
