Where'd the Snowpocalypse Hype Come From?
Let's be honest, the internet loves a good stir-crazy moment. A rumor of snow in July? Social media went into a frenzy, with Photoshop experts churning out hilarious images of palm trees wearing parkas and the trusty Burnside Bridge transformed into a makeshift ski slope.
QuickTip: Revisit key lines for better recall.
But fear not, fellow Portlandians! Our meteorologists, bless their rain-predicting hearts, quickly put the kibosh on any snow dreams.
QuickTip: Skim for bold or italicized words.
So, How Much Snow Did Portland Actually Get?
Drumroll, please... Portland received a whopping ZERO inches of snow yesterday. That's right, folks. Not a single snowflake, not even a rogue flurry daring to defy the summer sun.
QuickTip: Re-reading helps retention.
But hey, at least we can all take comfort in the fact that we weren't scrambling for bread and milk in a last-minute snow panic. Plus, think of the sunscreen sales that skyrocketed!

Sunshine and Second Chances: Let's Celebrate
Instead of building snowmen, we built sandcastles. Instead of sipping hot cocoa, we sipped margaritas on patios. Maybe next time, Mother Nature will throw us a curveball in the form of a hailstorm in August (just kidding...mostly).
In the meantime, let's raise a glass (or a frosty IPA) to the beautiful sunshine and the fact that we dodged a very strange, very non-Portlandian snow day.
