The Great Philadelphia Snowpocalypse of... June 30th? (Spoiler Alert: It Wasn't That Great)
Did you wake up this morning expecting to dig your car out of a snowdrift, only to be greeted by the sweet, sweet sight of... well, regular June weather? Hold onto your hats (because apparently there's no need for snow hats today), folks, because the answer to the question on everyone's mind (or at least everyone in the Philadelphia area who checked the weather forecast yesterday) is this: there was no snow in Philadelphia today.
That's right, folks. You can put those shovels back in the shed (or wherever you keep your summer-slaying snow removal equipment) because Mother Nature decided to play a little joke on us all.

| How Much Snow Did Philadelphia Get Today |
But Wait, There's More (or Rather, Less)
Now, some of you eagle-eyed news watchers might be thinking, "Hey, I saw reports of a foot of snow in Pennsylvania!" And you'd be right. But here's the key detail: those epic winter wonderlands were concentrated in the Poconos and Lehigh Valley, a good distance away from the City of Brotherly Love. So, while our friends up north were building snowmen, Philadelphians were busy debating whether it was shorts or capri pants weather.
The Moral of the Story?
Don't trust the weatherman in June. Especially when they start talking about snow.
Tip: Absorb, don’t just glance.
But hey, at least we can all take comfort in the fact that we weren't the only ones fooled. Social media is abuzz with memes about the phantom snowstorm, so at least we have some entertainment value out of the whole thing.
