East Coast Snow Woes
In honor of my Right Coast brethren, I simply must link to this old Straight Dope article from Cecil Adams.
In it, the inimitable Mr. Adams attempts to enlighten the Teeming Millions with a discourse on the many Eskimo words for "snow." He takes a stab at constructing a sentence that means, "look at all the freaking snow," but the best he can come up with is, "observe the snow—it fornicates." I still can't be in a snowstorm without uttering that line, much to my wife's glee, I'm sure.
