Each year, the Weather Channel releases its list of names it will use for winter storms. (Argos has already been annoying the northernmost states.) The National Weather Service (nor any other weather-based entity in the U.S.) does this for various reasons....one of which, I'm sure, is the fact that so many people make fun of it! Here's this year's list, if you care to join in: Argos Blanche Caly Decima Europa Fortis Gregory Helena Iras Jupiter Kori Leo Maya Niko Orson Pluto Quid Reggie Stella Thesius Ursa Valerie Wyatt Xavier Yuri Zeno I'll start...I wonder if Blanche will bring a bunch of The Golden Girls - style shenanigans....

I find it mildly surprising that the US chooses to name a storm "Europa" -- should we read something into it? It is related to Trump's election?

And "Fortis" is a bank in Belgium
