When Snowmageddon Broke The Internet

February 10, 2026

On Feb. 5-6, 2010, the first of two massive snowstorms dumped 32 inches at Dulles Airport – still a record. Days later on Feb. 10, round two hit with another 10-plus inches from Virginia to New York. These twin storms changed weather coverage forever as #Snowmageddon and #Snowpocalypse went viral. People live-tweeted the chaos, marking the moment social media became a real-time weather tool and turning everyday people into storm reporters.
