Nice!

Honestly, that sounds more like Boston than Chicago. This is only our first catastrophic snowfall of the year. :)

I've been using Storm of Damocles.

[tamarinne]

Oh, I like it!!!

[hungrytiger]

To be fair though, Storm of Damocles works better for pre-storm discussions. Now that it's here, it doesn't seem right..

Hey, it could still end up being 45 degrees and sunny. I'm keeping "Storm of Damocles" right up until (if) it starts snowing this afternoon. :)

And every brand of flavored greek yogurt was completely gone.

Love it!

It made me laugh, in a kind of "dammit, I was going to stock up on greek yogurt!" kind of way. :)

[tamarinne]

That's pretty freaking awesome. :)

Personally, I think the storm is the result of someone reading the forbidden book of winter rituals: The Necrosnowmicon! :P

love it!
