I really like Snowmegeddon. I also like snowpalooza, snowvaganza and snowgate. However I do agree with OP that people, encouraged by the media, make way too much of snow with their snowmongering. But I like the funny words.😛 ---

In all honesty, we don’t get a _lot_ of snow here, but we do get our blizzards. Other places (Toronto, Maritimes, etc.) get a lot more snow than we do. ---

> [@Roland\_Orzabal](#): > > “But I’m tired of snow!” Then move south for the winter. Can’t? Then shut the fuck up. Afraid that’s not going to work either. I bragged last month about our wonderful weather and how I’d already kicked off my shoes for the warming (and, by god, it felt awesome) so now it’s snowing. In Mississippi. Dear fellow Southerners, I am sorry I jinxed us all. ---

Snowmageddon? Beats “Smegmageddon.” Don’t want to see that movie, especially if Michael Bay makes it. ---
