One of the few good things to come out of last year's awful winter was the decision from the Weather Channel to name the various storms. At first, I was against it, but it turned out to be useful to have a name that travelers and airlines could use when talking about the horrid things. Well, I'm late to this, but here is the list that the Weather Channel has picked for this year.
Atlas
Boreas
Cleon
Dion
Electra
Falco
Gemini
Hercules
Ion
Janus
Kronos
Leon
Maximilian
Nika
Orion
Pax
Quintus
Rex
Seneca
Titan
Ulysees
Vulcan
Wiley
Xenia
Yona
Zephyr
The list was developed by a high school Latin class. I've got some favorites. It will almost be a joy to 'rocked' by Falco in a few weeks. I have hopes that Ion will be a very small storm. And let's all hope that Pax isn't too powerful of a storm, right?
