“Since when to winter storms have names? Stupid!”

That’s my question too and I have a legitimate concern. My house insurance deductible goes up to 2% of the total damage from any NAMED storm.

My main concern is named hurricanes. We just got through Sandy on the MA SouthCoast.

Now we have a routine nor’easter blowing through and somebody gave it a name. If I get any damage, my deductible goes up.

So, who is naming these routine storms? NOAA?

Anybody know the answer to this?
