"Wicked" Winter Weather

It seems that only in New Hampshire (or New England) would you see on your local news (WMUR) station "Wicked Winter Weather". I always get a "look" when I am traveling outside the area and use "wicked" in my vocabulary. Of course we use it here in NH as a positive adjective, not just a negative as in the Wicked Witch of the West.

It is 12:15 pm right now and we only have a winter snow warning right now. From what I'm hearing it will probably turn into a snow emergency before long. It's expected to fall at a rate of 1 1/2 to 2 inches per hour. YIKES!!! I don't know about you, but I think the ice and snow should be finished for this winter by Groundhog Day. Don't quite think it will work out that way though.
