"like none other"

CNN reports that in Washington right now, "It's snowing like none other."

1,700+ RGs for "snowing...," 3,600 + for "raining..."

A gratuitous comparison, IMO, since, other than "it," there is no other
"it" for which "snowing" is an active possibility. Or "raining," for that
matter.
