SNOWACANE!!!

SNOWACAINE!!!

The same storm that brought a gentle snowfall across Texas on Tuesday will reach the Northeast in the form of an atmospheric monster with damaging winds, blinding snow, torrential rain, huge waves and flooding.

In the hardest-hit areas, it will seem more like a “snowacane,” as a mere blizzard may not adequately describe conditions of this soon-to-be powerful nor’easter.

Massive Rumproast Bonus Points to anyone who comes up with something better than “Snowtorious B.I.G.” from the last storm in the comments.

snolipsism: 1. A form of denial of the existence of a universe independent from the snowstorm in the northeast.

2. A philosophical argument that allows for no weather conditions other than those as experienced by those in the Baltimore/DC/New York/Boston metropolitan axis.

At least I haven’t encountered anyone using the term “snowlocaust.”

Whoops, never mind.

And by the way, Senator Inhofe, all it did here in New York yesterday was rain. You should have grabbed your grandkids and come here to build Al Gore a raingloo.

Steve M. (and other dementoids) beat me to Snolocaust.

In the nuclear winter vein, we could go with Snowoshima or Nagasnowi. Maybe The Esnowla Gay.

There’s got to be some decent “blizzard” variants, but my brain hasn’t worked any that are worth sharing.

So far I’m leaning towards Tyrannosnowus Rex, the tyrant blizzard king.

Keep absolutely still. Its vision is based on movement.

How ‘bout “Winter?”

Snowbound to get worse before it gets better, is all I know.

Snobama?

All I know is that while the left wanted warmth and sunshine, Obama got us a blizzard, which is pretty close to what the Republicans wanted. And completely different from something I vaguely remember from Obama’s campaign. We should have voted for Hillary. She didn’t say no more blizzards for sure, but we would have been a lot closer to no more blizzards.

Foot’s refers to the storm as a Snowicane….

Alt, I think it’s time to make common cause with the Teabaggers and see if we can shrink this weather system down to a size where it can be drowned in a bathtub. Also: teleprompters!
