Away from the storm

Maritime Canada and Eastern US is being pummeled by an epic storm, and I'm not at home.  HW is holding down the fort, (perhaps literally, in the gale), and I hear a chick has hatched for Brown Bonnet in the broody kennel.  She's now comfortably in the house, working on her pet chicken status. (It was only a matter of time.  Whomever I once confidently told that I would "never have hens in the house" ... yeah, yeah, ok). All the hype about these storms rolling through is making me suspicious.  Isn't this phenomena also known as ... winter?And why all these names?  There really isn't anywhere to go from "Bomb Cyclone".  That seems to set up an expectation, like it might be disappointing if it turns out not to be aggressively destructive; if it turns out to be, simply, a storm.  With rain, snow, and high winds.To compare, this is the 20 year anniversary of the truly epic cataclysm in Ontario and Quebec, and it's known as "The Ice Storm" (dignified and deserved capitalization).
