    Why don't they give blizzards names like they do with hurricanes?

    Question #28275. Asked by Samuel. (Feb 17 03 4:59 PM)

    		Some do according to http://sciencepolicy.colorado.edu/pielke/redriver/text.html

    The winter of 1996-1997 broke records for snowfall throughout the region. The Grand Forks Herald popularized the practice of naming blizzards in a similar fashion to hurricanes (Grand Forks Herald 1997). In April 1997, blizzard 'Hannah' brought to the region winds over 60 mph, and more than 20 inches of snow, the most severe blizzard since March, 1941. The record snowfall set the stage for the record floods that were to follow.
