The Looming Threat: When the Weatherman Lied (Kind Of)
Did you wake up on Sunday morning with visions of sugarplums dancing in your head (because, let's face it, snow in July is pretty darn surreal)? Maybe you dusted off your trusty snow shovel and prepped the hot cocoa station? Well, hold those horses (or reindeer, depending on your July spirit animal). There might have been a mention of a chance of flurries on some weather reports, but let's be honest, that's about as likely as encountering a swimsuit-clad yeti at the beach.
The Big Letdown: Sunshine and Sad Trombones
So, what did Kansas City actually experience yesterday? Sunshine! Glorious, sun-drenched sunshine. The kind that makes you squint and crave lemonade, not snowball fights. While some folks might be mourning the missed opportunity to build a sandcastle out of snow, others are celebrating the lack of shoveling and the freedom to wear shorts without looking utterly ridiculous.
Important Announcement: Please refrain from shaking your fist at the sky and yelling, "But I BOUGHT SNOW TIRES!" We feel your pain, but consider it an investment in your future winter woes (or a stellar garage sale find next year).
Reminder: Take a short break if the post feels long.
