Winter Storm Vulcan Forecast: Blizzard Possible; Heavy Snow Likely for Midwest, Northeast, and Canada

weather.com

We’re supposed to have 72 and rain today. Nothing yet, since the freaking sun hasn’t come up. : )

ETA: And did you catch that name? This storm is named “Vulcan”.

It’s the Weather Channel. The NWS doesn’t give storm names to winter storms. It’s a marketing tool, and doesn’t actually convey any useful information. Winter storms are a different breed from tropical cyclones, and do not get storm name designations.

But if we’re going to go with storm names, picking the god of volcanoes and fire is an odd choice for a winter storm.
