So Do We Call "IT" Athena or Not?

"Weather Channel names nor'easter, National Weather Service says not so fast http://fxn.ws/UkbZIv  #Athena"


As we segue from Tropical Storms to Snow Storms I thought it would be good to put up some sites to link to for snow totals and observations.



Note the use of the name ATHENA by TWC...  it has caught on by the way on Twitter where people are using the hashtag #Athena.

The NWS might not like it, but seems the people like it... is that like losing the Electoral Vote and winning the popular vote?

Stay warm... and pray the storm moves fast and does not do much harm.. trees have already fallen in places where they weakened by Sandy...power outages for people who just got power back..is possible.
