Where'd all the Snowflakes Go?
Instead of a winter wonderland, we got a season that resembled a particularly enthusiastic game of air hockey. Snowfall totals were so low, they practically needed a magnifying glass to be seen. Central Park, the official snow recorder of NYC, only managed a measly 3.2 inches for the entire winter. That's less than a rogue squirrel's bushy tail!
Tip: Remember, the small details add value.
Seriously, folks, you'd have had better luck building a snowman out of leftover bagels than the actual snow that fell. #TheWinterThatWasnt
Tip: Context builds as you keep reading.
Conspiracy Theories and Mild Disappointment
Now, some folks (bless their hearts) are spinning some wild yarns about this lack of snowfall. Chemtrails? Nope. Reptilians hoarding winter for their nefarious schemes? Doubtful. The most likely culprit? Climate change messing with the weather patterns, but that's a story for another day.
QuickTip: Read section by section for better flow.

For now, let's just say New Yorkers are left feeling a bit like they got robbed of a proper winter. Where's the excuse to wear our most fabulous winter coats? Who will we impress with our epic (yet slightly clumsy) ice skating skills at Wollman Rink?
QuickTip: Skim the first line of each paragraph.
Fear not, New Yorkers! Spring is here (and let's be honest, probably summer by the time you read this), but chin up! There's always next winter... hopefully with a little more snow cooperation.
Frequently Asked Winter-Less Questions:
How to:
- Prepare for next winter's potential snowstorm? Stock up on hot cocoa supplies, perfect your inside snowball fight technique using crumpled up socks, and invest in some good quality boots (because let's be real, even a dusting can turn the sidewalks into an ice rink).
- Channel your inner Elsa when there's no snow? Blast some "Let it Go" at full volume, crank up the air conditioning, and pretend you're building a snow castle out of pillows.
- Cope with the emotional trauma of a snowless winter? Retail therapy is always an option. Or, you could book a winter vacation somewhere guaranteed to have actual snowfall.
- Explain the lack of snow to your kids who keep asking about snowball fights? Tell them a fantastical story about snowmen who migrated south for the winter.
- Celebrate a (mostly) snowless winter? Embrace the sunshine, enjoy all the outdoor activities you can't do when it's buried in snow, and be thankful for one less thing to shovel!
