When did they start giving names to snowstorms that drop 8-12" of snow?
"A strict observance of the written laws is doubtless one of the high duties of a good citizen, but it is not the highest. The laws of necessity, of self-preservation, of saving our country when in danger, are of higher obligation. To lose our country by a scrupulous adherence to written law, would be to lose the law itself, with life, liberty, property and all those who are enjoying them with us; thus absurdly sacrificing the end to the means."

- Thomas Jefferson

Or any snowstorm?  That's what I'm asking.

It's hip.  By that I mean totally stupid.  Best I can figure maybe more sheeple will pay attention if it has a name...but sheeple being stupid I think the effort generates zero return.

As for this little spat of weather, it stayed south of me which is swell, it's below freezing, so it's as hospitable as Hillary Clinton's black dead heart, but that hopefully keeps the ferals off the streets...
