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"
