Message: [QUOTE="Fishy, post: 2504392, member: 38"] There is a terrific reason for naming tropical storms and hurricanes. There are usually more than one when they’re active and it allows for faster, better and more clear communication among forecasters. Way back in the day, they would track them by number and it proved confusing when there were multiple storms. They didn’t start naming them for your benefit. The winter storm thing is simply just a marketing ploy by The Weather Channel. It’s not like there’s any chance of confusion as to which winter storm is currently over our heads. [/QUOTE]
