Let me point you all to The Megastorm:
http://climate.umn.edu/doc/journal/top5/numberthree.htm
I was near the Duluth part of the scale. Nearly 40 inches in one go, plus the usual howling winds for the area.
That was the due date of my first son, so we were sweating it. Nothing was moving on the roads. At least one woman gave birth at home.

You thought 45 degrees was cold?

Gov't closed for day 4.
I go with Snowpocalypse, I think the 'o' in snow is closer to the 'a' in apocalypse than the 'a' in armageddon.

I'm with you. "Snoma" and "geddon" both sound kind of goofy by themselves. Shoving them together doesn't relieve this.

No, but sarcasm and the internet don't exactly go hand in hand. The internet does a sorry job of translating emotion in text  .
I've been off of shool all week, plus we're suppose to get more snow on Monday. I'M GETTING CABIN FEVER IN HERE!!!!!

I hear ya. I had to shovel off my deck, which somehow accumulated about a foot and a half of snow over the course of several days of the snowpocalypse. Took me an hour to do it, although I did spend some quality time listening to good music while doing it.  Oh, and the steaks we had afterwards (Since I cleared the path to the grill) were glorious.

Yeah but when you say something like that in a thread like this you think someone might pause for half a second and go, "Hey, maybe he's not entirely serious about this?"

The Last Chancer Who Survived

I was snowed in. Didn't go to work wednesday but worked a little from home, sat and watched the snow fall all day long. Then at around 7:30 right in the middle of a fun game of MW2 my power went out. It was out for my whole condo complex plus the apts across the street. Electric Co's phone message said in my area there were 2700 people effected by the outage. I have electric heat, no fireplace so I was getting worried, but power came back in about 4 hours. I got about 18".
Thursday took off again and dug my jeep out with my bare hands (who needs a snow shovel if you live in a condo?) then I had to drive 20 miles away to my girlfriend's place who got like 24" and dig her out. Luckily she had some friends come earlier and they did her driveway  there's mountains of snow everywhere and we're supposed to get even more sometime next week. Yay!
Here in the philly area this last snowstorm broke the record and we officially have had more snow than ever ever before since they started keeping records over 100 years go.
I blame al gore.

Well for us SNOWPOCALYPSE III in 3D was a disappointment. We got like neagtive 2 inches of snow since the rain washed away a lot of what was on the ground.
Nonetheless the city is opening 2 hours late tomorrow.
