Well, I was wondering WHO decided we need more pizzazz in weather reporting and the new naming of winter storms. You guessed it, the ever so cutting edge "Weather Channel" that's who:

We're doing a "Nemo" now and I'll bet "Ukko" will be a real hummer! I guess with all the non-weather related programming lately the W-C folks have time to sit around and get bored...
(Mike Seidel) "I know... let's see if we can come up with a bunch of silly names for winter storms!"
(Jim Cantore) "OK... how about naming them after ourselves, 'Winter Storm Jim Cantore' really sounds impressive!"
(Mike Seidel) "Uh... well... maybe we better find something less.. er... 'personal' there..."
(Jim Cantore) "You hate me, don't you Mike?"
(Mike Seidel) "Sorry, I seem to have lost my hand held anemometer... (leaving) Vivian, have you seen my wind thingie anywhere?"
