The Great Rockford Snowpocalypse of... Nevermind, It's June!
Ah, June in Illinois. A time for sunshine, grilling out, and wondering if you accidentally wandered into a portal to Narnia. Because that's the question we're all asking after checking the weather forecast: did it actually snow in Rockford today?

Hold Your Horses (Unless They're Wearing Snowshoes)
Fear not, fellow citizens! It appears Mother Nature hasn't gone completely rogue. According to reliable sources (aka people who know how to use the internet), Rockford enjoyed a delightful day of absolutely no snowfall. That's right, folks, zero, zilch, nada. You can put away the shovels and break out the sunscreen.
But Seriously, It Looked Kinda Cloudy...
Now, if you peered out your window this morning and saw something suspiciously resembling a snowstorm, we wouldn't blame you. June can be a fickle month, throwing curveballs like a baseball-loving meteorologist. But rest assured, that was most likely a case of some good ol' fashioned rain clouds or maybe even a rogue flock of particularly fluffy pigeons.
Tip: Read the whole thing before forming an opinion.
Here's the science-y explanation (courtesy of Google, because who needs a real science degree?): June is statistically the driest month in Rockford, with an average snowfall of... wait for it... zero inches. Shocking, we know.
So, What Do We Do With All This Leftover Winter Gear?
Ah, the age-old question. Here are a few suggestions:
Tip: Break it down — section by section.
- Build a snowman...in July! Just be sure to use a wading pool and a whole lot of ice. Bonus points for a patriotic theme - think Uncle Sam with a popsicle hat.
- Embrace your inner explorer! Channel your Lewis and Clark and embark on a daring expedition to your basement. You never know what winter wonderland you might unearth!
- Donate it to a good cause! There's always someone who needs a good winter coat, even if it is June in Illinois.
Basically, use your imagination (and maybe a fan to keep cool).
