Ultrastorm Golgathor!


I think I can do a better job of making us storm names than the weather service, who decided to call this winter storm "Nemo." Really? Will the east coast next get slammed with Winter Storm Little Mermaid?

For those of you caught in the storm (IPLawGuy), here is some advice:

1) The longer you are driving, the more chance of an accident, so get to where you need to go as fast as you can. If you can get there in 10 minutes driving 80 or 20 minutes at 40, obviously you are better off being on the road for half the time.

2) Go the the store in the middle of the storm (following the above advice) and buy lots of bread and milk, even if you don't eat much of those things. After all, the storm may last two weeks or so, and in that time your tastes in food can change.

3) Be sure to allow your children outside unsupervised to play in the snow. It's soft, and therefore very safe.

4) Lighting a fire can make things cozy, even if you don't have a fireplace!

Above all, have FUN! We only get this kind of Ultrastorm two or three times a year!

Comments:
I beg to difer on the name Nemo. Nemo as in Jules Verne's Captain Nemo couldn't be any more different than that dreadful cute little fish. A while ago I overheard someone mentioning in a correcting tone “you mean Elton John's Aida!!”...poor Verdi must have flipped in his grave. So I guess I shouldn't be surprised when the name Nemo conjures the clown fish instead of the fearless, vengeful captain of the Nautilus.

Quite so,Marta! 20 lashes with a wet volume of 20,000 LEAGUES UNDER THE SEA,Professor! I do like your made up name,however. New Career: Guy Who Makes Up Names for Storms. Now,what kind of remuneration would be fair for that?
 
I kinda want to see what Winter Storm Little Mermaid would be like.
 
I failed to mention earlier I think Golgathor is a brilliant name for a winter storm and Renee is right, perhaps you should explore the remuneration potential for this particular talent. After all you do live in a place that'll assure a super steady side income that way.
 
Actually, people here pretty much shrug it all off. Two feet? Eh. They don't even cancel school.
 
We got nuthin' in D.C. very disappointing.

I think Tall Tenor got buried however.

Winter storms named after sea captains sounds like a good idea. Ahab, Kidd, Bligh, etc.
 
Ultrastorm would be a swell name for a laundry detergent and I think you should get IPLawGuy on it,immediately.
