The Great Kansas City Snowpocalypse of... Nevermind, It's Just July
Did you wake up this morning with visions of sugarplum snow fairies dancing outside your window? Did you rush to make a pot of cocoa, only to be greeted by the harsh reality of... sunshine? Well, fret not, fellow Kansas Citians, because today's snow accumulation is about as exciting as watching paint dry (although, to be fair, some very colorful paint could be exciting).
In other words, we got precisely ZERO inches of snow. That's right, folks, a whopping zilch, nada, a big goose egg. Unless you count the fake snow some overzealous store might have put in their window display (and even then, that's a stretch).
Now, before you start mourning the missed snowball fights and cozy nights by the fireplace, let's consider the positives.
- Your car will thank you. No scraping ice or trudging through slush to get that morning coffee.
- Your sidewalks will thank you. No treacherous black ice patches waiting to send you sprawling.
- Your grass will thank you. Sunshine and warm temperatures are way better for those blades of green than a frosty blanket.
But hey, if you're really itching for some winter fun, there's always the freezer aisle at the grocery store. Just grab a bag of those frozen peas and have a snowball fight in your living room. We won't judge (much).
QuickTip: Don’t ignore the small print.
