  • Dubbed the "snowpocalypse" - or sometimes "snowpocalypse II" in deference to the previous storm that blanketed Washington in December - the scenes on the streets this past week have actually seemed eerily post-apocalyptic.

  • And I remember driving through the great snowpocalypse of 1996. And doesn't anyone remember 1978?

    Not to mention that blizzard in 1888 that all those people died in. Sheesh...
