Severe winter storms will be given names

The cable channel announced Tuesday that it will give names to the worst winter storms much like the National Hurricane Center does for tropical storms.“Naming winter storms will raise awareness, which will lead to more pro-active efforts to plan ahead, resulting in less impact on the public overall,” Tom Niziol, the Weather Channel's winter weather expert, said on the channel's website.
