'Snowquester' Gets Little Respect

Three years ago, Washington, D.C., had a storm dubbed “snowmageddon.” This week, it’s “snowquester.” But on social media, many did not immediately embrace the name.

  1. D.C. area forecast: Heavy, wet snow likely tonight into Wednesday, significant accumulations: The Snowquester ... bit.ly/100fSRN
  2. There's a storm coming Wednesday and they're already calling it Snowquester. And by "they," I mean horrible people.
  3. We could avoid this Snowquester if Washington politicians would just reach a grand bargain on Snowtitlement reform and closing loopsnows.
  4. Recall him. I'm serious. This is not okay. RT ‏@AlexJamesFitz Steny Hoyer just dropped a #snowquester reference.
  5. No one in DC is sufficiently freaking out about the coming snow storm.
  6. What a lovely afternoon. Balmy 55 degrees in DC. Hard to believe #snowquester is coming but we've stocked up on cocoa.
  7. Inside the beltway people are only rooting for snow so they can feel clever when they tweet #snowquester. That is nerd humor (which I like)
  8. Please don't call it snowquester or i might have to scratch my eyes out with a rusty nail
  9. RT @wxbrad: The most accurate snowfall map for the east coast storm you will see all day. #snowquester twitpic.com/c8xgjf
  10. At vet with the Puppacita before storm strikes and she gets lost in snowquester drift http://pic.twitter.com/q7PDWqgdLy
  11. Really DC? Snowquester? Okay, #snowquester it is. ow.ly/ipbpN. Cue my family in Alaska, laughing...
  12. @JeffreyGoldberg Oddly enough, the only people in my timeline using "snowquester" are those telling people to stop saying "snowquester."
  13. Three presidential helicopter and the national cathedral #frommyapt perhaps evacuating dc before #snowquester? http://pic.twitter.com/dYViv2xVve
  14. Seques-tour is a pun I can support. Snowquester - still terrible.
