We live in hyperbolic times, everything an absolute and most.
One radio commentator went so far as to call The Winter Classic “the greatest event ever played on the greatest continent.” 
As ridiculous as his statement may be, hype is our norm. Winter weather, once described as “cold” or “snowy”, has been transformed into drama verging cataclysm. 
Where were you during Winter Storm Hercules? 
How did you survive the Great Polar Vortex of 2014? 
And what will you do to get through the next step towards our end?
Sure: but remember to use more ‘Rob Ford-isms’, so it would be: The winter cataclysm is akin to Rob Ford’s potential slide in the polls,.. – or similar,.. keep bundled up though eh!
I like the cartoon…!
My favorite is “Winter Blast”! And what’s with naming storms?
