The Great Indianapolis Snow Caper: A Tale of Melted Dreams (and Maybe a Few Slushy Piles)
Ah, Indianapolis snow. A whimsical winter wonderland... or a traffic-stopping, shovel-wielding nightmare, depending on your perspective. But one thing's for sure, Hoosiers are a curious bunch when it comes to the white stuff. So, the burning question on everyone's mind (well, maybe not burning since it's July), is just how much snow did Indy get this past... oh wait, it's July.
Hold on to your hats (or should we say, swimsuits?), because we're about to uncover the shocking truth!
QuickTip: A quick skim can reveal the main idea fast.
That's right, folks. As of today, July 6th, 2024, Indianapolis has received a whopping... zero inches of snow. You read that correctly, folks. Not a single snowflake has dared to grace the Circle City with its icy presence.
Tip: Patience makes reading smoother.
Now, before you start questioning the very fabric of reality (or dusting off your snowblower in a fit of existential dread), fear not! Winter will eventually return, bringing its usual frosty fury (or a light dusting, depending on the year).
Tip: Look out for transitions like ‘however’ or ‘but’.
But hey, while we bask in the glorious summer sun, here's a little snow-stalgia trip for you all:
Tip: Don’t just scroll to the end — the middle counts too.

- The February Flurry: This past winter, February brought a decent showing of 6 inches, enough for a snowball fight or two (and maybe a minor traffic jam).
- March Madness (of Snow, Not Basketball): We saw a sprinkle of snow in March, a measly 3.2 inches. Not enough for a snowman competition, but perfect for an impromptu dance party in the slush (because why not?).
- April Showers... Wait, What About Snow Showers?: April surprised everyone with a fleeting 0.2 inches of snow. Just a reminder that winter doesn't always follow the memo.
But wait, there's more! The National Weather Service tells us that Indianapolis averages around 20 inches of snow a year. So, while we may not be a winter wonderland, we also don't get pummeled by endless snowdrifts.
