In the midwest/west where we have all the same storms but not the oceans. Have you ever wondered why there can be equally strong storms in areas that are lesser populated and they don't give names and stop to wonder why? Why doesn't Minneapolis have any bad weather like this? Montana? Omaha? The broadcasting companies need to maintain relevance and keep people engaged so they come up with the catchy sounding names for a storm that will affect millions of people who will then pay more attention causing their viewership to stay high. On this site there are constant referrals to " the winter of ??" However in this case the discussion is about things that have actually physically happened not a prediction of something that may happen. Several years ago we had 24" of snow with 50 mph winds that plugged up everything and I myself couldn't leave home for 5 days, every time that winter we got 1" of snow the wind blew and drifted in all the roads because the ditches were already full of snow so the only spot for it was where it had been plowed out of. That was the last one. Remember in 83 where it didn't get above 0 for 3 weeks and at one time had close to -100 wind chills? Granted they were no snowmageddon or hurricane bomb or another attention garnering name. I don't watch much tv for this reason, it is all a push to dramatize everything, used to hunt coyotes with a guy who would try to imitate that stupid stuff while hunting, never saw anyone trying to look so dumb.
Now this is in no way to mean that the storm won't be bad but 12" of snow is 12" of snow wherever you are, even if it is in the middle of nowhere or on the coast. Sorry if you are offended, just calling it like I see it.
