Headlines Journalists Will Use Now That Snowstorms Have Been Given Official Names

Snowstorms now have an official nomenclature, similar to how cyclones are named. It is therefore inevitable that the media will produce dreadful headlines when these storms hit. If any of the following are used, I vow to pelt the offending journalist with snowballs until they apologise.

1 No, that’s not a typo—Gandolf is a character from The Well at the World’s End which, unlike a certain other epic fantasy novel, is in the public domain. So no angry emails or comments about the spelling, please.

2 Orko is a thunder deity in ancient Basque mythology, and far too obscure to make coherent headlines with.
