The Great Kansas City Snowfall Debacle: Has Winter Been Sleeping on the Job?
Ah, Kansas City. The City of Fountains, the BBQ Capital of the World...and a place where snowfall amounts can be more dramatic than a Chiefs game in the fourth quarter. But this year, Mother Nature seems to be taking a page out of a sloth's playbook when it comes to delivering the white fluffy stuff.
How Much Snow Has Kansas City Gotten |
Where's the Winter Wonderland We Were Promised?
We're all wondering the same thing, folks. We dusted off our snow boots, cranked up the hot cocoa recipe collection, and braced ourselves for epic snowball fights. Instead, we're staring down the barrel of summer with suspiciously green lawns and nary a snowflake in sight.
Has winter gotten lost on its way to Kansas City? Perhaps it's on an extended vacation in the Bahamas, sipping margaritas and forgetting all about its snow-delivering duties.
Maybe the Groundhog Saw Its Shadow...Wrong?

Tip: Read slowly to catch the finer details.
Hey Phil, if you're reading this (unlikely, but hey!), a little snow wouldn't hurt. We miss the cozy evenings by the fireplace and the excuse to wear those ridiculous puffy hats that make us look like oversized marshmallows.
But Wait! There's Still Hope (Maybe)
Okay, okay, so things are looking a little bleak on the snowfall front. But fear not, fellow Kansas Citians! There's still a sliver of a chance winter will pull itself together and blanket our fair city in a layer of sparkling snow.
Here's to hoping for a late-season blizzard! Just enough to create a magical winter wonderland, but not enough to leave us stranded at home for days on end.
QuickTip: Revisit posts more than once.
