Ave! Winter Storm Caesar Dumps Snow on Minnesota, Wisconsin, and Iowa, conquers Gaul - Polidicks

[quote]ATLANTA -- The Weather Channel is now marching to the orders of Caesar to increase it's ratings as the ides of December approaches. The weather network on Sunday named a new winter storm, Caesar, a practice in which The National Weather Service will not recognize. "We've been working on this over the last 12 hours or so, and we now are gonna name the storm," Weather Channel winter weather expert Tom Niziol explained on-air Sunday morning. "This is gonna be our third winter storm that is named for the year -- this is Caesar." The storm is expected to dump up to a foot of snow across South Dakota, Minnesota and Wisconsin over the next few days as the system moves eastward. "There is a number of reasons why we name these storms we take a look at the impacts that they are going to cause," Niziol explained as he discussed Caesar's impact. "They include significant impacts due to snow or ice and disruptions to road and air travel." The Weather Channel is using the name Caesar to name a new winter storm in the midwest. Photo credit: TWC Niziol added that "life threatening conditions from wind, snow, ice and cold" are also of concern with Caesar. The Weather Channel began branding winter storms with names in November much the same way the National Hurricane Center names tropical storms. However, the nation's weather agency has told it's meteorologists to avoid using the station's winter names in their forecasts, and most in media are taking the same steps. "The National Weather Service has no opinion about private weather enterprise products and services," states a memo from the National Weather Service. "A winter storm's impact can vary from one location to another, and storms can weaken and redevelop, making it difficult to define where one ends and another begins... the National Weather Service does not name winter storms." The first Arctic air of the season is "helping to fuel this system", Niziol said. In social media and on Twitter the hashtag #Caesar is being used in popularity to identify and discuss the new system. "When did we start naming winter storms? I missed a meeting...", one Tweeted from Minnesota on Sunday. "In any case, hail #Caesar." The Weather Channel has a complete list of future winter storm names ready for the coming weeks and months ahead including Draco, Euclid and Freyr.

Ave, true to Caesar.

"Patrolling the Midwest almost makes you wish for a Nuclear Winter."

Beware the ides of December! [sp]god i hope this storm is still going on on the 15th so this joke can make sense[/sp]

*checks watch* About time for Fox News' seasonal assertion that any and all snow disproves global warming.

I just WISH we'd get some snow here. It RAINED yesterday. RAINED. In DECEMBER.

[QUOTE=Strongbad;38777008]I just WISH we'd get some snow here. It RAINED yesterday. RAINED. In DECEMBER.[/QUOTE] Same. We aren't supposed to get snow this December where I live. I live in Northern Fucking Illinois, what the hell.
