#Snowday vs. #WinterstormNemo
It was a battle of the memes as a blizzard of tweets poked fun at a series of winter storms on Friday

Maybe you were stuck in traffic. Perhaps you just finished shoveling snow for two hours.

No matter. While you were hard at work, creative Twitter types used jumped on #snowday to craft a series of hilarious tweets.

Stateside, forecasters dubbed a blizzard that belted parts of the northeastern U.S., Nemo.

Not surprisingly, Twitter users had a bit of fun with that one.

And while it might have been fun and games for some, the City of Vaughan was forced to apologize after a tweet from its official Twitter account called some of its residents an obscene name.

"Everyone on my street has double gararges (sic) ...who are these f---nuts who don't put their car in the garage when we get 2 feet of snow? #dumb," read the message, sent out to the city's approximately 1,200 followers at 7:23 a.m. Friday morning.


The message sparked several hundred re-tweets.

We're not sure if there are any Jedi mind tricks that can save the culprit behind that message.
