WASHINGTON – Mid-Atlantic residents were buried Saturday from a likely record-setting blizzard the president jokingly dubbed "Snowmageddon," and those brave enough tried to clear a path through the wet, heavy mounds of thigh-high snow.
The snow was falling too quickly in the nation's capital for crews to keep up, and officials begged residents to stay home and out of the way so that roads might be cleared in time for everyone to return to work Monday. The usually traffic-snarled roads were mostly barren, and Washington's familiar sites and monuments were covered with nearly 2 feet of snow.

I don’t believe the term “Snowmageddon” originated with Obama.
A Fox host and who knows else came up with it yesterday or before the storm that brought DC to its legislative knees. Thank God for small blessings.

Why isn’t Algore and his enviroloonies doing something to stop all this snow? Don’t they have a direct line to Gaia?

LOL! Poor Al. The boy is going to have to come up with another big money making scam. His “global warming” gig has petered out.

Flew out of Richmond, VA Thursday night — a few hours before the blizzard hit.
I’ll take my L.A. rain, I think.
‘Snowmageddon’ and ‘snowpocalypse’ have been in wide use in Minnesota for at least a year that I know of.
Thanks! This is definitely one for the record and history books.
God don’t need no stinkin’ cap & trade.
