In Minneapolis, we call this "snow on Tuesday." So indicative of the East coast. So narcissistic, they name storms to show how important they are.

In November 2012, TWC began systematically naming winter storms, starting with the November 2012 nor'easter it named "Winter Storm Athena."[7] TWC compiled a list of winter storm names for the 2012–13 winter season. It would only name those storms that are "disruptive" to people, said Bryan Norcross, a TWC senior director.[8] TWC's decision was met with criticism from other weather forecasters, who called the practice self-serving and potentially confusing to the public.[citation needed] Naming though has been used by The Weather Channel (TWC) since 2011, when the cable network informally used the previously-coined name "Snowtober" for a 2011 Halloween nor'easter.[9][10][11][12]
A few of the winter storm names used by March 2013 include Athena, Brutus, Caesar, Gandolf, Khan, and Nemo.[13][14][15] For the 2013-2014 season, The Weather Channel published a list of 26 more names to be used for winter storms, with the name Atlas as the first name of the season.[16] On October 2, 2014, The Weather Channel released 25 new names with the 26th "W" to be voted on by viewers.[17] Names were again made for winter storms in the 2014–15 season, and for the 2015–16 season.[18][19] Names were later updated for the 2015–16 season, notable storms included Jonas. The weather channel also released names for the 2016-17 season.[20]

They've named hurricanes/tropical storms for as long as I can remember, but the winter storm thing is relatively new.

There are like 5million people in Minnesota.
There are about 5M traveling around a 30 mile radius of NYC any given day.
You would call that, superbowl+ olympics+million man March+ worlds fair.
Here we call that Tuesday.

and? hurricanes aren't storms? You think the Weather Channel came up with this idea NOT knowing hurricanes have been named for 35+ years at that point?

There's a reason there aren't that many people living here. Some say it's because it's cold, others say it's because it's boring.
But we know the real answer....it takes a strong, hearty, trustworthy person to live here.
We prefer it that way anyway. Enjoy your big storm. I'll enjoy the lack of New Yorkers.

Naming Winter storms is as stupid as it gets...
Flurries, light snow, snow, wet snow, lake effect snow, heavy snow, blizzard...
No need for names.. Worst snow storm I've been alive for was in '78... Know we it was called? "Blizzard of '78"

But in 40 years, is anybody going to remember when "Winter Storm Stella" took place?? "Blizzard of '78" is pretty self explanatory..

Yes, everyone in the east got together and said, "hey, we should call this storm Stella!"
Quite an excellent observation.
Tomorrow we are all getting together in the east discuss healthy organic alternatives to steak.

Guy points out the weather channel did this stupidity, not "the East Coast".
Poster then posts a list of hurricanes.
Then it somehow turned into NYers are rude.
I love folks from MN and this thread.

I'm going to go outside and name every snowflake. I'm going to celebrate their identities, even if they're biflakesual, and the very special cultural story that brought them each to my recognition. But only cuz they white.

IT STARTED WITH THE NAME IN THE MIDWEST THANKS FOR STOPPING BY
4) Stella a Midwest and Southern Snowmaker, Too
Stella also brought snow to the Midwest and parts of the South since this weekend.
Up to 10 inches was reported near Watertown, South Dakota, while parts of southern Minnesota and northern Iowa saw more than a half foot of snow.
Chicago had seen 4.3 inches of snow from Stella as of Monday night, marking the first time an inch of snow has been on the ground there since Christmas Day.
and nice
