The Great Memphis Snow Mystery: Has Winter Deserted Us Entirely?
Ah, Memphis. The land of blues, barbecue, and...well, not exactly a winter wonderland. But hey, even in this sun-baked city, a good snowfall can be a magical sight. So, the question that burns brighter than a plate of hot wings: how much snow has fallen in Memphis this season?
Hold Your Horses (Unless They Need Shoeing for Snow)
The truth is, folks, as of today, July 12th, 2024, Memphis hasn't seen a single snowflake this year. That's right, not a single, solitary flurry to grace the glistening...well, maybe not glistening, but definitely not snowy...streets.
Now, before you start composing a strongly worded letter to Mother Nature, there's still hope! Winter officially rolls in sometime in December, so there's plenty of time for a surprise blizzard (although, let's be honest, a Memphis blizzard is more of a flurry fiesta).
But What About That Time We Were Buried in Snow?
Note: Skipping ahead? Don’t miss the middle sections.
Ah, yes. You, history buff, are referring to the Great Snowpocalypse of February 2023. Now, that was a sight for the sore eyes (and a pain in the neck for those who had to shovel). We're talking 4 to 6 inches of the white stuff, with some areas reaching a whopping 8 inches. Memories of sledding down Beale Street and snowball fights in AutoZone Park will forever be etched in our hearts (and probably some social media feeds).
Fun Fact: Did you know the average snowfall in Memphis is a measly 2.21 inches? So, that 2023 snowfall was practically an arctic invasion!
