I think winter and I need to take a break from each other.

I did find an article referencing the fannish nature of many of the Weather Channel’s picks for storm names: It’s No Coincidence That Your Favorite Characters Are Now Winter Storms, by Chris Lough.

Along with the *official* (and non-copyright-infringing) explanations: Winter Storm Names for 2012.

After Saturn, still left in the naming queue:

Triton
Ukko
Virgil
Walda
Xerxes
Yogi
Zeus
