I believe it is just a media-hype thing to add to their audience and make it easier to get a share of social media. Named storms for hurricanes makes sense, but not for winter storms. Why don’t they do something useful instead of giving insurance companies an excuse not to pay and confusing people about what is occurring? If I want serious weather info, Weather Channel would be my last choice anyway.

I think it is rediculous. When we hear of a storm with a “name”, it’s meant to gain your attention. With every storm being named, people will become de-sensitized to the possible approach of truly dangerous storms. ie. tornadoes, hurricanes etc. Wise up weather channel.

Some insurance companies can raise a deductable in the occurence of a named storm..
Check with your agent to make sure. I agree with accuweathers position..

I believe it will be a problem with insurance coverage.

When I first saw a named storm I thought it was some freak Hurricane. No no; Naming winter storms is not the way to go! Pretty soon we will have the AT&T storm, Neslie Quik storm, toilet bowl cleaner storm naming rights!

If they’re going to name Winter storms, are they going to start naming thunderstorms too? How about tornadoes? Where does it end? Good grief!

I wish that was all that I had to worry about.
