Name your own Winter Storm.

Nemo ? Gandolf ? Q ? The Weather Channel has appointed itself to name winter storms this year. And they seem to love characters from recent films.

If they can do it, so can we...

What are you naming your storm and what will your storm do?

I actually love Florida's summers. Call me a glutton for punishment, but it's my favorite time of the year here.

Although truth be told, the heat and humidity in Florida is not necessarily more excessive than that in the Mid Atlantic.

It was one of the two things that made me nervous about my move down from Jersey. Not a problem. Summer lasts longer, but it's not really worse temperature-wise. The rainstorm every.single.day got to me a little bit, but I adjusted.

My other major concern was hurricanes: Sandy. Irony.

Because damnit, we need an end of the alphabet name. I also think xylophones are cool. I don't know why.

And it will stall at College Station and never make it any further, while wreaking havoc, hail, and a rain of frogs below

Storm Ann Richards and Storm Molly Ivins would work just as well in the same situation

That way, lots of people would get caught in it and be totally miserable.

I grew up with this daily forecast:

'Today we'll have 98 degrees with 98% humidity.'


Over and over again. When asked why it wasn't 100% humidity, they said it was, but it wouldn't be understood since it wasn't raining.
