The Great New York City Snow Hunt: A Measured Quest (or Lack Thereof)
Ah, New York City. The city that never sleeps... except maybe for a quick power nap when a surprise blizzard rolls through. But hey, who needs sleep when you've got the existential thrill of wondering if your bodega will have enough milk and Drake will magically appear to film a music video in the snow?
But before you dust off your snow boots and stockpile questionable winter fashion choices, let's get down to brass tacks (or, you know, slippery sidewalks): how much snow has NYC actually gotten this year?
The Answer, My Friend, Is Blowing in the Wind (or Maybe Not)
Tip: Share one insight from this post with a friend.
Here's the thing: as of today, June 13th, 2024, Mother Nature hasn't exactly doused the Big Apple in a winter wonderland. We're talking more like a light dusting of confusion.
Now, there was that epic snowstorm back in February that caused a minor apocalypse and led to some truly impressive piles of snow in Brooklyn (we see you, Coney Island, with your near 10 inches!). But that was months ago, and frankly, we've all collectively chosen to forget the trauma of trying to hail a cab in a snowglobe.
QuickTip: Short pauses improve understanding.
So Does This Mean Summer is a Sure Thing?
Don't jinx it! New York weather is about as predictable as a toddler with a sugar rush. But statistically speaking, you're probably safe to ditch the parka for now.

However, If You're Craving a Snow Fix...

Head north! Upstate New York is practically Narnia compared to the balmy (okay, maybe not that balmy) temperatures of the city. Just remember, with great snowdrifts comes great responsibility (like, you know, shoveling your driveway).
Tip: Slow down at important lists or bullet points.
