Yeah, you can thank the Weather Channel for the naming nonsense.

The NWS/NOAA/NSSL and NHC have nothing to do with trying to name winter storms.

As I was saying to a colleague, what are they doing naming winter storms? Are they going to have a name for every lake effect storm that hits through Buffalo and the Finger Lakes region? Nor’easters only? Storms that generate 6+ inches of snow? Blizzards (which don’t always require lots of snow - only lots of wind sustained for 3+ hours).

It doesn’t make any sense.
