The Great Memphis Snowpocalypse: A Totally Serious Investigation (with Tongue Firmly in Cheek)
Let's face it, folks, Memphis and snow go together about as well as a mimosa and a marathon. We're a city built on sunshine and barbecue, not blizzards and bundled-up misery. But every year, the question arises like a rogue tumbleweed: How much snow will Memphis get?
Will we be building snowmen or scrambling for sunscreen?
Fear not, my fellow Memphians, for I, intrepid weather warrior (with a healthy dose of skepticism), have embarked on a quest to unveil the truth!
Tip: Use this post as a starting point for exploration.
Consulting the Crystal Ball (aka Weather Forecast):
First stop, the bastion of all things meteorological: the weather forecast. A quick glance reveals... absolutely no snow in the foreseeable future. Shocker, right?
Tip: Use the structure of the text to guide you.
But hey, what about those "surprise" snow flurries that occasionally grace us with their fleeting presence? Like that time it snowed sideways for 15 minutes in 2018, causing mass hysteria and a run on bread that would make a zombie apocalypse look tame?
Yes, there's always a chance. But let's be honest, it's about as likely as encountering an Elvis impersonator who can actually sing.
QuickTip: Skim the intro, then dive deeper.

So, How Much Snow Are We REALLY Talking About?
Here's the truth, Memphis: we probably won't see any snow worth mentioning. Stock up on pool floats instead of snow boots.
Tip: Reread if it feels confusing.
However, if you're absolutely determined to get your yeti on, here's your Memphis Snowfall Survival Guide (Disclaimer: This guide is mostly for entertainment purposes):
- Invest in a high-powered magnifying glass. You'll need it to spot those elusive snowflakes.
- Stockpile sand. Because apparently, that's what we use for snow in Memphis. (Don't ask me, I don't make the rules.)
- Practice your best ice skating impression on the sidewalk. Bonus points for interpretive dance moves while dodging startled pedestrians.
- Build a snowman... out of marshmallows. It'll melt faster, which is more realistic for our climate.
Frequently Asked Snowpocalypse Questions (Because Apparently, We Need Them):
- How to prepare for a Memphis snowstorm? Dust off your flip-flops and crank up the air conditioning.
- How to build a snowman in Memphis? See question 4 above.
- How to drive in the snow (Memphis Edition)? Don't. Seriously, just don't.
- How to identify a real snowflake? If it doesn't melt on contact, it's probably a rogue cotton ball.
- How to survive a Memphis snowpocalypse? Laugh it off and enjoy the (very brief) novelty.
There you have it, folks! The definitive guide to Memphis snow. Now go forth and conquer... whatever sunshine activity awaits!
