Blizzard Nemo is bearing down on the Northeast- hence the term nor’easter to describe it- so prepare for the folks at Fashion Week, now being held in New York City, to be out in force battling the storm.

“The organizers of New York's Fashion Week,” reports the CSMonitor, “a closely watched series of fashion shows held under a big tent – said they will have extra crews to help with snow removal and will turn up the heat and add an extra layer to the venue.”

We can only hope that they wear furs.

Because we’ll need blizzards of hilarity to withstand the up-and-coming storm, which will be the worst storm ever since, well, the last “WORST-STORM-EVER!”

However, we won’t have to brace against the snow per se; there have been plenty of monster winter storms in the Northeast that have been shrugged off, shoveled out from and tobogganed on.

Even in the midst of an outbreak of global warming, snow still, after all, eventually melts. Even in New England.

When the Weather Channel started to hype the false stories about increased storm occurences in support of the Global Warming hoax needed to get more viewers for higher ratings.

Last year. It was started by The Weather Channel in the silliest effort at self-aggrandizement since THE Ohio State University insisted on a minimum 10 decibel amplification of its definite article.

Wrong

A nor’easter is named after the direction that the wind is blowing from.

Nor'easter
