The Great Denver Snowpocalypse of... July? Hold on a sec...
Did you wake up this morning expecting a winter wonderland outside your window? Because if you did, well, you might need to check the calendar again. Despite whispers of a snowy apocalypse last week, Denver saw about as much snow overnight as a snowball fight in the Sahara. That's right, folks, nada, zilch, zip.
Now, before you start digging out your shorts and flip-flops in disappointment (because let's be honest, Denver in July is basically a giant pool party waiting to happen), let's rewind a bit.

A Blast from the Not-So-Distant Past: When Snow (Almost) Came to Town
Remember that whole "accumulating snow overnight" thing the weatherman was harping on about last week? Yeah, that was supposed to be a thing. The good news? Most of Colorado got the memo. The bad news? Denver played hooky.
Apparently, Mother Nature decided the Mile High City had endured enough excitement for one year (remember that epic February blizzard we all pretended to love?). So, she took her frosty paintbrush and went to town on the mountains instead, leaving Denver with a case of serious FOMO (Fear Of Missing Out... on snow).
QuickTip: Skim the intro, then dive deeper.
So, What Does This Mean for You?
Absolutely nothing, really. Throw on your swimsuit, crank up the AC, and fire up the grill. It's a scorcher out there, and that's exactly how Denver summers are supposed to be.
Now, if you're one of those people who thrives on meteorological mayhem, don't despair! There's always next winter (which, by the way, is statistically much more likely to involve snow).
Important Side Note: If you happen to stumble upon a rogue snowflake hiding in a shady corner, do not attempt to capture it for science (or social media clout). Leave the poor thing alone before it melts into a puddle of existential dread.
QuickTip: Highlight useful points as you read.

Send them this article (but maybe leave out the whole "no snow" part). They'll never know the difference.
Tip: A slow skim is better than a rushed read.
4. How to use all that leftover hot cocoa mix you bought in preparation for the snowpocalypse?
Bake some delicious hot cocoa cookies! Because who says you can't enjoy a wintery treat in the summertime?
5. How to avoid disappointment next time the weatherman predicts snow in July?
Remember this golden rule: never trust the weatherman in Colorado. Just grab your swimsuit, your sunscreen, and your sense of humor, and you'll be prepared for anything (almost anything).
