Snowicane? Frankenstorm? Snowgasm? Snowpocalypse? Beelzebub's bowling alley?

As you know Bill, these are names that make fun, or make light, of something that one can’t control and that can and will do harm. Apotropaic. Whistling while passing through the graveyard in the dead of night and such.

Also, they are great marketing devices. Frankenstorm, in a word, sells.

Wishing you safe passage, Bill, and everyone else affected by the coming storm.
