With all due respect to #WeatherChannel, I won't this storm the name they've given it. Winter storms dont get names. Silly hyping up.

Excellent. The (hysterical and fear-promoting) Weather Channel naming storms is yet another example of creeping privatization; naming hurricanes, for example, is a government function.
As it should be! I mean, what next? Weather Channel selling the naming rights?

On the contrary, I hope they add corporate sponsorship of storms, the more annoyingly overhyped the better.
Today's power outage -- brought to you by ZZA Financial. When you're in the dark, there's ZZA.
It Was A Dumb Name Anyway
After all, we don't need to find this storm. It's pretty obvious where it is.
