The Great Louisville Snowmageddon of... July 11th? (Spoiler Alert: It Wasn't Much)
Did you wake up yesterday morning, bleary-eyed and confused, to a winter wonderland outside your window? No? Me neither. But for a glorious, fleeting moment, some of us in Louisville might have been mistaken for living in Antarctica after a quick glance at the weather forecast.
How Much Snow Did Louisville Get Yesterday |
Where'd that Snowpocalypse Talk Come From?
Let's be honest, folks. Kentucky in July is more about dodging heatstroke than building snowmen. Yet, there we were, bombarded with news reports about a potential "snow event." Plot twist: it turned out to be more of a "flurry flurry" than a full-blown blizzard.
QuickTip: Read line by line if it’s complex.
The Big Reveal: How Much Snow Did We Actually Get?
Drumroll please... Louisville received a whopping... nothing at all in terms of snowfall yesterday. That's right, folks. Mother Nature apparently decided to skip the memo on the whole snowstorm thing.
Tip: Read slowly to catch the finer details.
Maybe the penguins in the Louisville Zoo were stocking up on sunscreen in a panic, but the rest of us can safely put away the shovels (or, more likely, the pool noodles we were planning to use as makeshift snowplows).
Tip: Take your time with each sentence.
So, What Was All That Hype About?
Now, this isn't to say the weather reports were wrong. They probably used very fancy science jargon that us mere mortals wouldn't understand. Maybe there was a chance of a rogue snowflake landing on a lucky windowsill. The point is, winter is definitely not coming... yet.
Tip: Read once for flow, once for detail.
But hey, at least we can all revel in the fact that we briefly experienced the thrill (or, more likely, the confusion) of a potential snow day in July.
Important Note: This is not financial advice. Please do not invest in snow removal companies based on this information.
