| How Much Snow Did Colorado Springs Get Yesterday |
But Seriously, How Much Snow Did We Actually Get?
Okay, okay, laughs aside, let's get down to brass tacks. While visions of snowmen and snowball fights might dance in your head for a July blizzard, the reality is a bit more... underwhelming. Thanks to the wonders of modern weather forecasting, Colorado Springs didn't actually see any snowflakes yesterday. That's right, folks, you can put those winter boots back in the closet (although, let's be real, they probably weren't out in July anyway).
So What Was All That Hype About?
Now, you might be wondering where all the talk of a blizzard came from. Well, fear not, intrepid news hounds! The culprit seems to be a case of mistaken identity. While the mountains around Colorado Springs did receive a dusting of snow over the weekend, it appears some overeager weather reports got a little carried away.

Here's the takeaway: Colorado Springs may be known for its four distinct seasons, but a July snowstorm definitely isn't one of them (at least not this year).
