In a storm that’s being labeled ”snowmageddon” by some, which is not my name even though I co-wrote the article (DC, Mid-Atlantic Bracing for ‘Snowmageddon’). Even though I usually rail against making up words randomly (languageandgrammar.com), I don’t mind as much when they’re funny names like this one!
Anyway, as I often do since I can’t give forecast details, I’ll link to some of my blog friends for their updates on the massive snow storm:
- Capital Weather Gang
- Maryland Weather
- PhillyWeather.Net
- WeatherTalk
- The Weather Front (Fox News)
- WeatherMatrix
Oh, and for a Super Bowl-related laugh, take a look at Erik Proseus’s blog (MemphisWeather.Net), Hurricane WhoDat?

OK, language and grammar man, why do I continue to read/hear that this storm was “an historic” storm. Why is “an” being used before a word beginning with a consonant?

I’d have to do some research, but I suppose it’s because people must think it’s pronounced as if it sounds like a vowel at the beginning of the word historic, sort of like an honorable mention. In that case, the h is silent.
