So they've named the latest storm 'Quintus.' I see. We need more than that to know what to expect from the storm. Is the full name Quintus Aemilius Lepidus? That's significant you know.
Of course, they could spare themselves a lot of heartache if they would just, you know, stop naming the damned storms. This is merely winter weather, with wave after wave of cold air moving down from Canada. We name hurricanes and typhoons because they are discrete storms. They have a definitive beginning, middle, and end; they can cause great suffering and damage, but for all that are relatively infrequent. These supposed 'winter storms,' on the other hand, are not at all discrete events, and to name them one after another serves only to create false drama for an already inane news cycle.
It's still winter, the last time I looked, and we will as a result find ourselves subjected to winter weather. O, the horror.
