Blizzard

[cos]

"Blizzard" is a perfectly fine word that could serve us well for centuries. I wish we weren't calling every run-of-the-mill blizzard a "snowpocalypse".

True, it is a fun word. If we'd had it in '78 it would've come in handy. We made do with "blizzard" then.

Hmm. I thought that everyone who used the term "snowpocalypse" or "snowmageddon" was using it in jest, to poke fun at everyone who panics and can't deal with a run-of-the-mill blizzard in New England. That's how I use the terms, anyhow. A big snowstorm like this, I just stay inside (or close to home) while it's happening, shovel out the next morning, and go on with my life.
