We and many others in our community are struggling to 'name' the big Dec 14 and 15 wind storm we just experienced. Several other big wind storms we've had in the past happened to fall on a significant day or had something distinctive happen such as the Inauguration Day Wind Storm of 1993, the Turkey Day Storm of 1983, or the Hood Canal Wind Storm of 1979.
So, what do we call this big blow? We would like to tap the creative minds of our community to help us 'name this wind storm' . We have created an email address for you to submit your 'name the wind storm' nominations through Jan 4, 2007.
We are not permitted to offer a big prize, but we will announce the winner shortly after the Jan 4th entry deadline via our web site at weather.gov/seattle. The winner will be able to say, "I named that storm!"
So, use namethewindstorm@noaa.gov to help us name the wind storm! Good luck!

The "Big Blow" sounds good to me
Off-topic, but we used to live in a wind funnel of sorts...the local saying was "The wind doesn't blow here, it sucks"
I think we should name it after our governor,
How about "Gergoires Vapors"
"The Great Lewinski of '06"?
