The Great Denver Snowpocalypse of... Wait, It's July?
Did you wake up this morning with a sudden craving for hot cocoa and a burning desire to build a snowman? Hold on a sec, because unless you've hopped in a time machine (in which case, kudos for style!), it's actually the heart of summer. But that didn't stop Denver from experiencing a surprising blizzard this past weekend!

A Blast from the Snowy Past (or April to be exact)
That's right, folks. Denverites were treated to a shocking snowstorm in late April, not July. Mother Nature threw a curveball, dusting the city with a cool 5.7 inches of the white stuff. Now, that might not sound like much to our friends in Vermont, but for Denver, it's practically a blizzard.
The storm caused a mini-mayhem, with flights grounded, roads turning into ice rinks, and schoolchildren (briefly) fantasizing about a snow day. But fear not, Denver! The snow melted faster than your average politician's promise, and summer is officially back on track.
QuickTip: Focus on one line if it feels important.
So, Why the April Fooledery?
This one has weather forecasters scratching their heads. Apparently, a wily jet stream decided to take a detour, bringing chilly Arctic air down to Denver's doorstep. It was a short-lived party, but one that definitely provided some amusement (and maybe a few traffic headaches).
