Snowpocalypse

I'd also like to thank the Atlanta Snowpocalypse of 2011 for giving me a large block of uninterrupted writing time.

The “snowpocalypse” of 2008 paralyzed hilly Seattle in part due to reluctance to salt the roads for fear of harming Puget Sound and nearby streams, though it turned out that sanding the roads can also be harmful.

“It's a snowpocalypse out there, folks,” said the newscaster in the studio.
