WINTER storm QUID ?????

[harmonics101]

What are we doing now? Using foreign currency to name winter storms? What will it be next? Winter Storm Rupee? Or maybe Yen?

When will they discontinue this nonsense (naming winter storms)?

Who would name someone 'QUID' ?????

[Long Jon]

They should've called it Quo in honour of the late Rick Parfitt.

Short for Quidditch.

Thanks for the clarification, shows how much I'm into that (Potter stuff),

Lol, I made that up. I figured since Potter has essentially infiltrated every fabric of life, why not winter storm naming?

okay, you got me, but it seems reasonable to me? Why else would they name the storm Quid?

I guess we also had a "Decima" and a "Fortis" this year too.

And the next one is "Reggie."

Go home National Weather Service, you're drunk.

Given the nastiness of storms, why don't they name them appropriately with bad guys? Darth, Stalin, Lenin, Hitler, Bundy, McVeigh etc.

But we got the idea from you guys regarding Theresa May, so it does go both ways

Ever since Weather Channel got bought up by NBC, I don't watch anymore, it's become more a talk show than an informative channel,

We have had no winter here. I'd be happy to get a winter storm named anything. Steve, George, Raymond, I don't care!

It is 83 F here now.
