Best Answer

The Weather Channel has come up with a naming system for winter storms. Like hurricane names, they are sorted alphabetically, and as a new storm comes up, the Weather Channel chooses the next name on the list.

These names are not official or valid, though, as the National Weather Service has explicitly stated that it will not recognize these names. Ultimately, only the National Weather Service and its branches have the authority to name storms.
