Did President Oprah actually chuckle and call it "snowmageddon"?
Who fed him that orchestrated quip, anyway?
It's nearly as lame as those who are calling it "the abominable snowstorm."
Look: If I wasn't so busy shoveling the 28-30 inches of snow outta my driveway (located outside this Honeycomb Hideout), I'd wipe those smiles off their smart-alecky faces by puttin' the business side of this shovel upside their smart-alecky heads.
Either way, here's the data (as compiled by the lab boys in Data Processing):
- - Approx. 21-22 inches during that Sat. Dec. 19 storm ...
- - Snow which remained virtually unmelted for one week -- 'til the day after Xmas when the thermometer hit 52 and a day's worth of rain completely cleared the white stuff ...
- - The last of the parking-lot iceburgs finally disappeared Mon. Jan. 25 ...
- - Five days later (Sat. Jan. 29), 4 inches fell ...
- - Four days after that (Weds. Feb. 3), 4 inches on top of the 0.36 inches which remained from four days earlier ...
- - And, the early returns from this Feb. 5-6 monster: Anywhere from 21 to 38 inches ...
Season total: 60-point-something ...
Record for one winter: 62 inches ...
Which will be surpassed Tues./Weds. when the next 8-27 inches hits the front step.
Interestingly, the local record high for Feb. 6 was 72 degrees set wayyyy back on 2/6/08.
No matter how ya slice it, these storms must be treated with respect. And, that's why we must call them by their proper names: "Blizzardsaurus Rex" and "Snowzilla."
Snowmageddon?
That's so amateur ... so juvenille ...
Damn sons of bitches ...
