[charlie and algernon]

And where is falls in terms of ranking.

flurries
snow
snow storm
nor'easter

blizzard
nuclear winter
ice age

1. Did you understand the term though?

[hedgehog]

2. I'd rather hear "winter wallop" than have the term blizzard applied to any accumulation

greater than 2"!

3. I finally heard a term for when people buy milk, bread and eggs before a big snowstorm:

"French Toast Frenzy".

That would also be an awesome name for a band, if not for the inevitable comparisons to Five Iron Frenzy.

4. Actually, there's a law firm in Houston called Winter Wallop Nordstrom and Schumacher.

I'm just kidding. Cornelius "Winter" Wallop was a famous pro wrestler in the late 1960s. He signature move was the "flying Wallop blaster"
