What a crazy winter again!! Yesterday part of that storm system blew through the Chicago area-the north suburbs got 8", and we out in the western suburbs got about an inch with more rain. South areas had a lot of rain.
Be safe all of you in the path of this storm...it almost mimics Sandy's pattern...

It seems the weather extremes are getting more frequent and stronger. Either that or I just have way too much time to notice what the weather is doing!

Did you know winter storms are getting names now? This one is Nemo. When did that start? Who got Alfred, Bob, Cathy, etc.?

Sparky- this is not the official policy - it is purely something the Weather Channel is doing. They say it is to impart the seriousness and awareness to the public (but those of us in the disaster and weather preparedness profession belive it is to drive ratings up and will cause the public to ignore named events {tropical events such as hurricanes} due to "name fatigue"

If you talk to the old-timers, you'll find out the truth--that it was way WAY worse back when they were young!

Apparently storms are named when the have sufficient wind to merit it. See below:
http://usatoday30.usatoday.com/weath...lone-names.htm TWC named this one, "Nemo," not a government agency. Local stations here in Boston (at least 2 of them) are calling it The Blizzard of 2013. Sparky is right. It has started here (Boston). No cars on the road in the city after 12N; no public transit of any kind after 3:30 PM. No cars on the roads of the entire state after 4PM. 18-24 inches of snow is expected, sometimes falling at 2-3 inches an hour w drifts up to 5 feet. Winds in excess of 75 mph. We will see.

Sick of the snow?
Even the snowmen are.

All the post offices in Maine, NH and Vermont will be closed tomorrow. I can't remember that every happening before. Holy cow.
