The Great Kansas City Snowstorm of... Wait, What?
Did you wake up this morning expecting to build a snowman outside your window in Kansas City? Hold on to your hot cocoa, because unless your definition of "snow" involves a rogue hailstorm or your neighbor's overenthusiastic snow cone machine, then the answer is a resounding NO.
That's right, folks. Despite your childhood dreams of epic snowball fights in July, Mother Nature decided to serve up a side of sunshine with your morning toast instead.
Now, before you start questioning everything you thought you knew about the weather, let's be honest: Kansas City in July is more likely to melt your flip flops than require a snow shovel.
But hey, if this little weather snafu has you yearning for a winter wonderland in the middle of summer, fear not! Here are some tips to get your snowflake fix:
Tip: Reread if it feels confusing.
Dust off the Christmas decorations: Who says you can't have a July snowman? Throw on some jingle bells and crank up the carols, because a little holiday cheer never hurt anyone (except maybe the neighbors who have to listen to it).
Head to the nearest ice rink: Channel your inner ice princess (or prince!) and perfect your triple axel. Just avoid any spills that might involve a real snowball – those things can be surprisingly painful in July.
Stock up on the fake snow: Embrace the DIY spirit and create your own winter wonderland indoors! We won't judge (much) if you get a little carried away and turn your living room into a winter vortex.
Remember: Safety first! Fake snow inhalation is a real thing, so keep it out of reach of curious pets and small children (or adults who might get a little too enthusiastic).
