Walked out the door and met a 3 foot drift. The walkway here is over 2 feet deep, maybe as much as 2-½ feet.
It's even quiet for the country. All you can hear are the birds complaining.

Hit a 8 foot drift covering the back door of the house. had to go out the front and dig it out. Took about 2 and a half hours to get the back of the house cleared. When i was a kid this would have kept us out of school for at least 2 days provided it happened on a weekday rather than a weekend.
I keep my 2 feet on the ground, and my head in the twilight zone.

I think the NWS comes up with the names. Just wonder how money changed hands in this case to give them names. Maybe they wanted Winter Storms to have a name distinctive enough that you can tell by hearing the name the difference between a Summer and Winter storm.
Nemo, Orco, what's the next one gonna be called? Poontang?

Oh, so it is just a Weather Channel thing. In that case it's meaningless and should be discontinued.BOSTON -- Meteorologists might not be sure whether the storm heading into the East Coast will drop 12 inches or 24, but they are sure about one thing – this storm is definitely, absolutely, not called Nemo.
But that’s what the Weather Channel has decided to call it, part of a policy announced in the fall in which the TV station will give names to winter storms so that people can more easily follow them.
