Summary "Summer Snow Storm" by Adam Chase is a novelty science fiction story written in the mid-20th century. The narrative unfolds in a modern setting where a disastrous weather anomaly occurs—snow falling in the summer—spurring an exploration of meteorology and its implications. The story delves into themes of responsibility and the unforeseen consequences of one's actions against a comedic backdrop. The plot centers around Johnny Sloman, a weatherman who accidentally predicts an impossible summer snowstorm, which catapults him into fame as a meteorological genius. After this bizarre incident, Johnny discovers that he possesses a unique power to influence the weather, leading to his rise as "The Weather Man" who can command atmospheric conditions for great profit. However, after initially enjoying his newfound celebrity and wealth, he faces a dilemma when his ex-fiancée Jo-Anne is kidnapped by enemy agents hoping to leverage his abilities for malicious purposes. The story culminates in Johnny using his powers to save Jo-Anne and prevent world conflict, highlighting the combination of comedy, adventure, and romance woven throughout his extraordinary journey.
