Snowflakes in Oakland: A Rare Sighting
Okay, so it’s technically happened a few times. But let's be real, it's about as common as seeing a unicorn riding a unicycle while juggling chainsaws. When it does snow, it’s usually a dusting at best, and it melts faster than a popsicle in the Sahara.
QuickTip: Pause after each section to reflect.
So, if you're planning your Oakland winter wardrobe, leave the parka at home. Unless, of course, you're into fashion-forward irony.
Tip: A slow skim is better than a rushed read.
