I got an e-mail from Verizon this morning warning me that a storm is coming.
Sometime in the future they'll be able to say "I told you so"
First snow
- Thread starter Boyd
- Start date

Actually it was very specific. I think this is like the robo-call I got from Atlantic City electric. Some consultant probably analyzed their response to Sandy and advised them to "communicate" more with their customers.

I'm just not into them naming northeasters. Sounds forced, like they hope we adopt the name.
It is their attempt to make weather entertainment. I wonder if they plan on retiring infamous Nor'easters(another new term I despise!)?
I'm okay with Nor'easter because it's a traditional way of saying it, probably originated by the salt 'O the earth New Englanders who watched the weather carefully. It is proper (to me) to say.." the Nor'easter of March in 1892 was a brute". But, what are we supposed to do with Jonas?
It's a marketing thing from the Weather Channel. I hate it….

"The Weather Channel has been naming winter storms since 2012, a practice that has annoyed some but also brought the network a lot of attention and played very well on social media. The terms “winter storm” and “Jonas” dominated Internet search engine rankings on Thursday, encouraging other news media outlets to adopt the name as well."
