NY Times: A Fish, Er, Storm Named Nemo:
The Weather Channel’s new names for winter storms are catching on, much to the chagrin of the National Weather Service, which has advised its forecasters not to follow the channel’s lead.

A brief reminder about winter storm names...:
Earlier this year, The Weather Channel, owned in large part by Bain Capital, announced that it was going to take it upon itself to assign names to winter storms so that the public can easily keep track of them, similar to what is done internationally with hurricanes.

The Weather Channel is doing this completely on its own, after no coordination with any other weather forecasting outlet including the government-run National Weather Service, which is the official authority on serious weather matters in the country.
