A "snowicane"? Who makes this stuff up?

[spyboy]

My friends in Northwestern New Jersey said there's a "snowicane" coming. Who makes up these terms? Probably the New York Post...

From the weather forecast I can see for here in Western MA they should be calling it a rain-a-caine. It rolls off the tongue better

Seriously though, yeah...snowicane? Definitely...odd, to say the least.

Here's an entry from one of AccuWeather.com's bloggers, Jesse Ferrel, giving their viewpoint on the issue:

I'm not saying I agree or disagree with either side. In fact, I can see good points on both sides. I just think it's good for people to see both viewpoints...

Snowicane, snowpocalypse, snowmageddon, I love these media words.

But I prefer Tsnownami myself

I'd call it a sludge-icane, I just got a ton of heavy slop where I live.
