It's because of the press. They name everything now. Maybe some day they'll name raindrops and snowflakes.

The press doesn't name them. https://oceanservice.noaa.gov/facts/storm-names.html

They don't have to. They just do things like bury your dwelling under snow, take down power lines, bring down trees, etc.

I didn't say the press named them. I said it was because of the press and I'm talking about the recent obsession with naming winter storms. And soon it will be summer storm systems. Every storm system will have a name because it's popular with the press. Now every storm, summer or winter, they tell us how many millions of people will be affected. It gets tiresome.
