The Great Indianapolis Snow Caper of 2023: A Winter That Forgot to Show Up

Where Did Winter Go?
Did someone forget to tell Mother Nature about Indianapolis in 2023? We went from pumpkin spice lattes to flip flops faster than you can say "blizzard." While some folks might've shed a tear (or two) for the lack of a snowy wonderland, others were celebrating a break from shoveling duty.
Seriously, folks, the official records show a measly dusting of snow for the entire season. We're talking about a sprinkle, a flurry, a "sidewalk shuffle" kind of situation, not a full-blown winter apocalypse.
A Tale of Two Seasons (or Lack Thereof)
Indianapolis has a bit of a reputation for being climatically indecisive. We flirt with both summer and winter, but neither one seems to want to commit. Last year, winter clearly got cold feet and decided to take a long vacation. There were whispers of a snow event in February, enough to cause a minor traffic jam and maybe a closed school or two, but that was it.
Tip: Reread complex ideas to fully understand them.
Look, Indianapolis averages around 20 inches of snow a year. So, while we might not be a contender for the Winter Olympics, we also don't get pummeled by endless snowdrifts.
Signs You Missed Winter in Indianapolis (Because We Almost Did Too)
- You used your entire gallon of milk for actual drinking, not for de-icing.
- You aced that parallel parking test without breaking a sweat (because there were no snowbanks to make it tricky).
- You wore your favorite pair of white sneakers all winter long (without a single slush stain!).
