2015-16 Winter Storm Names

Hey everyone-

I just want to inform you that WFSB has announced that the theme of this year's name list for winter storms will be former first ladies of the US.


And they are
Anna!
Barbara!
Caroline!
Dolley!
Eleanor!
Florence!
Grace!
Helen!
Ida! 
aaaaaand Jacqueline!


Note that Barbara is the first repeat name in recent memory, having been the name of a run-of-the-mill nor'easter in February 2010 that dropped about 10" statewide. They tend to not reuse names, but sometimes it's unavoidable. It certainly helps that it was not a huge event- they'd have a hard time justifying the use of "Larry" (Blizzard of 1978) or "Charlotte" (Blizzard of 2013) again...


Have a splendid Thanksgiving!!! :)
