What's that? You're worried about a little snow falling on your head? How adorable.

Have you made plans for this weekend that include traveling outside of your house for even the briefest moment? Cancel them! Or maybe make more of them? The Northeast is about to get walloped or tenderly caressed with either a couple inches or a couple feet of snow.

Media mogul Barry Diller was driving his Maserati through a snowy Central Park this morning when it got stuck. Luckily Katie Couric happened by to help push it out—in the wrong direction. Rich people really don't "get" snow.

How much do you think Al Roker hates his co-hosts during this broadcast? He's stuck in Boston during a storm that's still going strong. When he goes live, Natalie and Matt can't stop giggling about the bells in the background.

On last night's Late Show, David Letterman's Top 10 List was "Ways New York City Is Preparing for the Blizzard." T'was mostly kitsch and Mayor Bloomberg-bashing, but—mid-list—Letterman went off on a hilarious tangent about his displeasure with Noxzema.

There's snow in 49 states right now, covering some 69.4 percent of the contiguous United States. Even Hawaii has snow , though it's on a volcano so it's sort of cheating. Can you guess which state is ruining our perfect record?

The New York Times poses an ontological riddle: If a billionaire mayor's private jet was spotted on the tropical island where he keeps a $10 million estate during New York City's apocalyptic blizzard, does that mean he was there too?

The New York Post's war on the Sanitation Department over the Snowpocalypse cleanup apparently worked: "I had one old guy throw a mini-snow blower at me because I plowed past his driveway," one sanitation worker told the Daily News.

There's been so much creativity unleashed by New York's recent snowstorm that a film festival may be in order. If so, put Chris Branca's ski stunt video on the shortlist for a jury prize.

A pedestrian was shocked to see a 15-foot explosion blow away a West Village manhole cover the other day. But not too shocked to start filming! Video after the jump, in case you're wondering whether it's safe outdoors, post snowpocalypse.

Good news from the Snowpocalypse: A man survived a suicide attempt today when he jumped from the 9th floor of a Midtown Manhattan building and landed on a pile of garbage that was left uncollected after the snowstorm. [NYDN]

"Mercenary" snow plower Danny DiLorenzo hit the jackpot during the Snowpocalypse: He hung a sign on his truck that reads "No favors, F-ck You Pay Me," and has made $10,000 cash plowing in Brooklyn and Queens since. [NYP]

All the blizzard talk reminded us of "Wickedness," Ron Hansen's short story about the Schoolhouse Blizzard of 1888, which killed 500 people across the Great Plains. It's amazing, and through the magic of Google Books you can read it here.

The recent dumping of 20 inches of snow on New York City was a commuter's nightmare—also a filmmaker's paradise. Here's the moody, brilliantly-shot meditation on a buried city that's being called Oscar-worthy by no less than Roger Ebert.

Take a look at these two post-blizzard New York City streets, courtesy Brooklyn blog Sheepshead Bites—one impeccably plowed, the other, well, not so much. Can you guess which one Mayor Mike Bloomberg lives on?

The NYT's City Room blog has a handy, steadily updated guide to mass transit delays around the city, and while things are getting better, taking public transportation is going to suck today. Have fun out there! [City Room; AP]

Some 500 people on a subway in New York City were stuck on the tracks for seven hours on Sunday night after snow on the third rail shorted out the train's power. Meaning they had no heat.
