Possible "Real Snow Storm" 2/8/2013

National weather service does not name winter storms.

It is part of the NBC hype that has changed the Weather channel from just that...a weather channel with meteorologists...into an extension of its parent network.

Hated to see the change...

The reason they wanted to name storms was to ensure that people pay attention to powerful and or dangerous storms..

Gee, I thought that was the job of the meterologists.

Hype or not, I like "The Weather Channel"...and...I like the idea of them putting a name to a major winter storm.

OMG, I am soooo very envious of the BIG STORM you lucky people up in Mass. and NH are about to get. I am living vicariously through these weather reports. A big snow will be fabulous for everyone!

I've been following this guy for a while now, he's pretty good on his predictions. A little farther south than the big lake, but worth checking out.

I guess they were thinking of the Fishing Derby when they named this storm.
