The Great Memphis Snowpocalypse: How Much Did We REALLY Dodge?
Ah, Memphis. The Bluff City, home of the mighty Mississippi, delicious barbecue, and...well, not exactly known for epic snowfalls. But hey, that doesn't mean we can't have a little fun digging into the recent winter wonderland (or should we say "winter not-so-much-land") that graced (or rather, didn't quite grace) our fair city.

The Winter That Wasn't: A Tale of Inches (or Lack Thereof)
So, how much snow did Memphis see? Buckle up, folks, because we're about to enter the thrilling world of...not that much snow. That's right, folks, the official tally at Memphis International Airport clocks in at a measly 3.4 inches. Now, don't get us wrong, that's more than our average measly 2.21 inches. We practically became a winter wonderland...by Memphis standards, at least.
QuickTip: Keep a notepad handy.
But let's be honest, 3.4 inches is more like a dusting of powdered sugar than a blizzard. You couldn't exactly build a snowman (unless you were a sculptor with a serious magnifying glass), and sledding was more like a slow, slightly damp descent down your driveway.
Tip: Keep your attention on the main thread.
Meanwhile, out east... Things got a bit more interesting. Our neighbors in McNairy County saw a whopping 8 inches of the white stuff. Seems like winter forgot to send the memo to Memphis proper.
Tip: Slow down when you hit important details.

For those brave souls who ventured out in their shorts and flip-flops (because, let's face it, that's practically Memphis winter attire), a round of applause. You ventured into the unknown, the 3.4-inch wilderness, and emerged (probably) unscathed.
QuickTip: Revisit key lines for better recall.
But seriously, folks, a big thank you to the road crews who prepped for a snowpocalypse that never quite arrived. You guys are the real MVPs.
