* I’m tired of the words “snowpocalypse” and “snowmageddon.” Can you think of a new term for people freaking out over a small amount of snow, and put it in the comments? Thanks.
AHHHHH!! SNOWLAMITY! (That’s like “snow” + “calamity” = “snowlamity.”) We dodged a snowlamity bullet today—we, being everyone who isn’t dumb enough to live in the West Hills—BUT HOW SHALL WE FARE TOMORROW?? Here’s the learned opinion of Fox 12’s Chief Meteorologist Mark Nelsen on the adorably geeky Fox 12 Weather Blog. (By the way, the commenters on this blog are extremely pleasant. Please make a note of it.)
THIS EVENING (Through at least 10pm): Rain/snow showers, turning to steady rain/snow later…most sticking snow at/above 1,000′ through our 10pm show. Light accumulations during this time on the hills, this will be the calmest period.
OVERNIGHT THROUGH 7:00 AM: Winter Storm Watch is still up, and NWS will probably upgrade to a Winter Storm Warning mid-afternoon to be safe. I still think we’ll escape a big snow event here in Portland, but it’s going to be VERY CLOSE. So I’ll forecast 1-3″ of heavy wet snow possible anywhere from Wilsonville north through Clark County (all of the metro area) between Midnight and 5am. No snow for Wilsonville south to Salem. Once again, gut feeling is we get little or nothing here, but it’s safest to forecast (Dec 29, 2009) a few inches in the dark of night.
Snowlamity (probably) diverted!
Am still partial to the untold horrors of the Snowlocaust…

I always forecast a few inches in the dark of the night
the term “heavy wet snow” is one of the things that makes me punch my freaking out coworkers.
It is foretold that Fenrir will devour the sun during the events of Snownarök.
Fruit Cup wins! Even used an umlaut!

Snowverreacting.
Snowah
Snrain of terror.
Snogrom.
The Icegasm or…. Snowtorum or… Deja Vu All Snowver Again or… no those are all very stupid. I’m sorry.
It’s a good thing I caught these Somali Pirates. They’ll be keeping my deck clean of all this white stuff.
Snowkward!
Just after the business with Fenrir devouring the sun, the Ice Giants shall awake from their long sleep to bring about Snowterdämmerüng. Loki will probably do something horrible. Expect delays.
Winter is Coming.
