Winter Storm Nemo

Recommended Posts

Forecasters are warning that this could be a bad one for the northeast snow-wise.

I'm going out on a limb thinking people up there will be calling it "Fucking Nemo" when its over. :P

I WAS complaining about it only getting up to the high 50s this weekend at Eloy.

BUT, now that I've seen what you all have in store, I guess I'll hush up. :P

"We" didn't. "They" did.
It was entirely The Weather Channel that decided to start naming them. The National Weather Service didn't and chose (wisely IMO) not to go along.

Around here (northeast Wisconsin) a couple of the TV stations have done it now and again. It was kind of cute the first year, but it got old.

One of the local TV anchors does a news broadcast on one of the local rock radio stations in the "afternoon drive" slot. The news anchor and the DJ were chatting about various things, as they do, and the DJ asked the anchor about this.
The anchor replied something like: It was a fad back in the eighties, back when storm tracking and radar technology made some big advances. Now, it's just...(thoughtful pause)

Stupid.

I couldn't agree more.

They are calling it multiple names now, Charlotte, Nemo... probably some others.

They should have named it: The Weather Casters Are a Bunch of Sensationalizing Chicken Little The Sky Is Falling Douches.

True, but the idea of naming storms is to differentiate them from each other.

You'd have to use that name on every storm.
