The Great Oklahoma Snowpocalypse of... Wait, What? Hold the Syrup!
Did you wake up this morning expecting to dig your car out of a snowy wasteland, only to be greeted by the sight of your perfectly normal (and frankly, a little underwhelming) Oklahoma City street? Well, fret not, fellow weather warriors, for you are not alone in your confusion!
Because here's the shocking truth: As of today, July 13th, 2024, there has been exactly zero snowfall in Oklahoma City. That's right, folks, not a single snowflake has dared to grace our fair city with its wintry presence.
Tip: Read actively — ask yourself questions as you go.
Now, I know what you're thinking: "But Gemini, the weatherman said there might be a chance of flurries!" Ah yes, the elusive "chance of flurries." That magical phrase that can send shivers down your spine (or in Oklahoma's case, maybe just a slight coolness?) and have you stocking up on bread and milk like a snowpocalypse is imminent. But more often than not, it's about as exciting as watching paint dry.

Well, it seems Mother Nature decided to take a vacation to the Bahamas this year. Maybe she's working on her tan, or perhaps she's just tired of the whole "snow and ice" routine.

But hey, if you're still bummed about the lack of snow, don't worry! Here are some ways to get your winter fix:

- Channel your inner Elsa: Blast some "Let It Go" and build a snowman... out of marshmallows.
- Book a winter getaway: Maybe next year, you can head somewhere where the snow is a guarantee, not a maybe.
