Argos is here!

Each year, the Weather Channel releases its list of names it will use for winter storms. (Argos has already been annoying the northernmost states.) The National Weather Service (nor any other weather-based entity in the U.S.) does this for various reasons....one of which, I'm sure, is the fact that so many people make fun of it!

Here's this year's list, if you care to join in:

Argos
Blanche
Caly
Decima
Europa
Fortis
Gregory
Helena
Iras
Jupiter
Kori
Leo
Maya
Niko
Orson
Pluto
Quid
Reggie
Stella
Thesius
Ursa
Valerie
Wyatt
Xavier
Yuri
Zeno

I'll start...I wonder if Blanche will bring a bunch of The Golden Girls - style shenanigans....

I find it mildly surprising that the US chooses to name a storm "Europa" -- should we read something into it? It is related to Trump's election? Laugh1
