A term coined in the latter part of the first decade of the 21st century. It is used to describe a weather phenomonon where a region or regions is struck by massive and crippling snow storms back to back. Unfortunately (or fortunately deprnding how you look at it) the term is often mispronounced by hair helmeted stuttering stumble bummed weather forcasters and anchor persons. If the use of this word follows past trends, soon every fucked up weather pattern will be renamed with the suffix "pacalypse". Just as every dicked up scandal or back door deal was standardized by the suffix "gate" after the Watergate" scandal.
My fellow Americans, as your President, I am declaring that our nation's Capitol will be closed until we are out of the icy grip of Snowpacalypse 2010. Emergency services, to include Fire, Police and Corpse Men will however, continue.

Get the Snowpacalypse mug.A weather condition in which the amount of fallen snow, while not really such a big deal, wreaks havoc on a city, effectively shutting it down and leaving its citizens stunned and unable to see any sign of hope or a return to normalcy. It's perceived much like the aftermath of a nuclear event, but really... it's just freakin' snow!!
In cases of a Snowpocalypse it is really the panicked reaction of said citizens and NOT the actual snow that makes the situation worthy of the title. People simply aren't used to it, lose their heads and blame the city for the weather.

Seattle: December 2008/January 2009
6 days of sheer horror, the likes of which gripped us all in fear and ineptitude. God have mercy on our children as they look back on those dark, dark days of the Great Snowpocalypse.
** Speculation is still pending on whether this was the act of terrorists. No group has yet come forward and claimed responsibility.
