The proper name of this storm is "Snowzilla: Make Winter Great Again."

and the picture to go with it, from the Capital Weather Gang.



Here is the methodology used to arrive at this name.

We’ve thought about it long and hard this morning and although Make Winter Great Again has the most votes — and is certainly hilarious — it doesn’t make for a good name, or a good hashtag. So we’re going with the runner up: #Snowzilla!

Snowzilla makes so much sense to us because of its perfect nod to this “Godzilla” El Nino. And quite frankly, this could be a Godzilla-sized winter storm.

happening south of me. We're not forecast for a single flake. Don't know if I should be relieved or disappointed.

She says storms like this only cause her a 2 hour delay. Told her to bite me.

It makes me think of that broken Speak and Spell the word salad making chef of all time, the Snowbilly from Wasilla, the half brained half term Governor Sarah Palin.
