The newest neologism: Snoverkill.
A second major snowstorm in less than a week struck the eastern United States Wednesday, paralyzing travel for millions, shutting down the US capital, and forcing school closures from Virginia to New York.
The National Weather Service forecast that the storm, dubbed "Snoverkill" by the local media, would dump up to 14 inches (36 centimeters) of fresh snow on the mid-Atlantic region.
This comes on top of the three feet (91 cm) of snow from the weekend's powerful blizzard, much of which remains on the ground.
