We've all heard the urban (or would that be arctic) legend that Eskimos have as many as 100 words for "snow."

We should all be saying "Weathercasters have 1 million terms for snow."

This morning, I heard a TV forecaster predict "greasy snow."

I've also heard an increase in the phrase "heart attack snow" (apparently meaning that people should be in shape before shoveling).

What strange meteorological description have you heard lately?
