The Great Denver Snow Mystery: Did a Snowflake Fall or Did We Dream It?
Ah, Denver snow. Those magical moments when the Mile High City transforms into a winter wonderland... or a slushy mess, depending on your perspective. But this year, things have been a little... different. Like, "did it even snow?" different.

Where'd the Winter Wonderland Go?
Reminder: Reading twice often makes things clearer.
According to official records (which, let's be honest, can be about as exciting as watching paint dry), Denver has seen a measly 44.6 inches of snow this season. That's way below the average of 56.9 inches. Is Mother Nature taking a vacation? Did she forget Denver even existed? We may never know.
QuickTip: Read line by line if it’s complex.
The Conspiracy Theory Corner
Some folks are whispering about a vast government cover-up. Maybe they're stockpiling all the snow for a giant snowball fight with Seattle. Perhaps Big Snowplow is in cahoots with Big Hot Chocolate, keeping the slopes bare and the mugs empty. Or, hear me out, what if all that snow from "The Day After Tomorrow" movie just decided to skip Denver this year?
Tip: Read slowly to catch the finer details.

Okay, okay, enough with the dramatics. The truth is, it's July. Snow isn't exactly on the menu right now. But fear not, Denverites! Winter will return, bringing its fluffy white blanket (hopefully) with it.
