Snope. Snow kidding. There's a storm out there. But if a thousand feet of snow falls on the Northeast and you're not there to pick the right Instagram filter, did it really fall at all?

It's here! A huge snowstorm (which some—not me!—are calling "Nemo") is currently moving ominously across the Northeast, piling up feet of snow and rousing winds over 50 m.p.h. up and down the east coast. Here's the latest on the possibly record-breaking storm, from New Jersey to Maine.

As I write, a massive snowstorm is bearing down on the Northeast, whipping up 50 m.p.h. winds and dumping as much as a foot and a half of snow on New York City. If you live in its path you should buy extra food, you should make sure you've got candles and flashlights, and you should fill up your tub with water.

For this week's "Scheels Weather Kid" segment, KVLY North Dakota invited 9-year-old William Hallman of Fargo to help out Chief Meteorologist Hutch Johnson with his 5 PM weather report.

As the Northeast braces for the storm of the century of the week, her citizens have turned into a population of old tabby house cats, arranging their nests as they prepare to die. In their desperate need to shop for anything, people have even cleared out the bad ice cream flavors from the grocery store shelves.

Because if all those photos of empty shelves across the Northeast are any indication, they need to take a long, deep breath and think about why they suddenly need ten hands of bananas.

You know how sometimes the best way to deal with a ranting, screaming maniac is just to leave him alone until he exhausts himself? It's time for us to do that with Weather.com.
