Hurricane Sandy.
The Frankenstorm.
The Snoreastercane.
Whatever you want to call it, the storm hitting the East Coast this week is a freak of nature, says Kevin Myatt, weather columnist for The Roanoke Times.
For Southwest Virginia, the merging of two extreme weather systems likely will mean high winds, heavy rain and possibly a record October snowfall.
Anything is possible, Myatt says, but the storm is bringing more tricks than treats.
