The Great Oklahoma Snowstorm of... Wait, Nevermind.
Did you wake up this morning expecting a winter wonderland outside your window? Did you optimistically dig out your favorite parka and snow boots, only to be greeted by the sight of... well, regular Oklahoma weather? If so, you're not alone!
The Social Media Meltdown: When Oklahoma Dreams of a White Christmas in July
QuickTip: Reread tricky spots right away.
Let's be honest, folks. Oklahoma City and snow go together about as well as flip-flops and blizzards. Yet, a flurry of social media activity yesterday had everyone convinced we were about to be buried. News feeds were flooded with questions like "Is it REALLY snowing??" and frantic pleas for bread and milk supplies. Relax, everyone! While there may have been a case of mistaken identity (we're looking at you, hail!), the only thing piling up yesterday was laundry and those dishes from last night's dinner.
Tip: Focus on clarity, not speed.
But Seriously, Folks: What WAS That Stuff Falling From the Sky?
QuickTip: Highlight useful points as you read.
Okay, okay, so it wasn't a full-blown blizzard. But there was some precipitation action happening. For those keeping score at home, we experienced a delightful helping of thunderstorms and a touch of fog. Not exactly the makings of a snowman competition, but hey, it's something, right?
Tip: Reading in chunks improves focus.

Well, friends, that remains to be seen. While Oklahoma can be unpredictable when it comes to weather, a July snowstorm is the stuff of legends (or at least heavily embellished stories told by our grandparents). But hey, if you're really craving a snowball fight, there's always the freezer aisle at the grocery store. Just don't tell the cashier you're planning a blizzard in your living room.
