In case you havent heard, the Northeast is collectively freaking out because of a potentially historic snowstorm set to wreak major havoc at least two feet of snow, or more in some areas on the coast from New Jersey to Maine. The epic snowstorm, named Juno, will hit the Northeast on Monday evening, and continue until early Wednesday morning. If you live in the area, you probably wont be going anywhere for awhile but here to keep you company, of course, are a plethora of winter storm Juno memes.

Some of these are very creative.

(357 posts)1. You would think blizzards were a recent occurrence
Before Change wrecked the Climate they happened with some regularity.
Now it threatens to take deflated balls off the front pages.
Stockbrokers during the Blizzard of 1888.
Then, of course, there was the legendary Blizzard of 88. It is probable that no inhabitants of the area that is now New York, going all the way back to the Lenape Indians, ever had so hellacious an experience of winter as the New Yorkers of March 1888 did. It wasn't so much the 21 inches of snow, a total surpassed not just last February but also on Dec. 26-27, 1947 (26.4 inches). It was more the winds gusting as high as 85 miles an hour and the single-digit temperatures, and of course the fact that the late-19th-century metropolis simply wasn't sturdy enough to withstand the onslaught, the likes of which it could never have imagined.
