The Great Nashville Snowpocalypse of... July 10th? (Spoiler Alert: It Wasn't That Great)
Did you wake up this morning expecting to build a snowman outside your door, only to be greeted by the searing heat of the Tennessee sun? If you did, then you, my friend, might be the victim of some serious time travel OR a case of major wishful thinking (because let's face it, Nashville in July is more likely to melt your face off than provide a winter wonderland).
Fear not, fellow Nashvillians! While social media might have been buzzing about a snowstorm last night, rest assured, the only thing "snowing" was a healthy dose of confusion.
But Wait, There's More (Except Not Really)
Now, some of you eagle-eyed weather watchers might be thinking, "Hold on a second, didn't we have a doozy of a snowstorm back in January?" You absolutely did! In fact, Nashville got slammed with a good ol' fashioned winter wonderland that dropped anywhere from 2 to 8 inches of snow, depending on where you were located. But that, my friends, was a whole different story (and a whole different season).
Here's the thing: weather websites can be a tricky bunch. Sometimes, they forget to update their historical data, which can lead to some seriously misleading information. So, that whole "snowpocalypse" business? Just a case of mistaken identity.
Moral of the story: Don't believe everything you read on the internet, especially when it comes to rogue snowstorms in the middle of summer.
FAQ: How to Deal with Your Non-Existent Nashville Snow Day
Since you're probably not building a snowman today, here are some helpful hints on how to channel your inner-snowbunny in the face of disappointment:
- How to channel your inner Elsa: Blast your favorite "Frozen" tunes and pretend you have ice powers. Just avoid accidentally freezing your morning coffee.
- How to build a "snowman" (Nashville style): Grab a beach towel, some sunscreen, and head to the nearest body of water. Sunbathing snowman, anyone?
- How to have a snowball fight (without the snow): Stock up on water balloons and have an epic water balloon battle! Just be sure to warn your neighbors first (unless you enjoy a good soaking).
- How to make it snow (metaphorically speaking): Whip up a batch of delicious snow cones! Fruity flavors and a brain freeze are guaranteed.
- How to forget about the whole ordeal: Distraction is key! Binge watch your favorite show, catch up on some reading, or head out for some good old-fashioned summer fun.
So there you have it, folks! No snowstorm here, just a chance to embrace the sunshine and all the other joys that come with a Nashville summer. Now, if you'll excuse me, I have a date with a giant inflatable pool flamingo.
