Which rolls your eyes the fastest?


I have lived through so many "storms of the century" that I ought to be about 900 years old by now. It gets my vote

i'm just disappointed it's transitioned to an ice storm and not a foot of snow and that i'll likely have to go to work.

I've been leaning towards Snowmageddon lately.

I like "Thundersnow." It sounds like the lost Maiden Christmas album.

We've been using snowpocalypse, and Snowprah Winfrey. If it's less than the carnage the local television folks are breathlessly predicting, we're going with "snover-rated."

Storm of the Century is the only one that makes me roll my eyes.
But just once, I'd like to see a weatherperson say "This one's gonna' be a real motherfucker".

Especially since we've had four worse ones in the past six weeks.

Okay, looking at pictures of Chicago, maybe it was the storm of the century there....

I have to admit I was impressed by this stat: February 2011 is now the snowiest February on record in Tulsa. It broke the record on February 1st.
