When Did We Start Having A Storm Season?

[ToraToraTora]

and when did we start naming slightly inclement weather? More poncification?

[Old_Geezer]

Maybe when global warming started giving us storms :-)

Another yank import.

it was barely a storm anyway, just a bot blowy! I called the light Breeze on the way to work, "Brian", nearly ruffled my hair! Yes I have hair!

[woofgang]

we have always had a storm season, its usually in september and october though

[Tizzi24]

Why do we have to do everything the Yanks do? First it was Halloween, then the schools started doing proms and now it's naming b***dy storms! I'm sick of it.

[ichkeria]

Maybe it should be renamed Typhoon Teacup ...

[anotheoldgit]

We have always named our weather.

"it's cold enough to freeze the b*lls off a brass monkey".

" It's raining cats and dogs".

"It looks a bit black over Bill's mothers".

"It's six foot out there" (snow)

"It's hot enough to fry an egg out there".

The UK seems to over egg everything these days.

[QuizmasterG]

Scared of being sued if someones clothes get wet if the forecast is wrong?

[retrocop]

Mr aog
Not to mention, "If there's enough blue in the sky to make a sailor boy's trousers it will be a fine day"!!
That saying might appeal to some :-)

[Retrochic]

^^^^ even more so if there's a rainbow lol!

[janbee]

Next time there's a great storm heading towards Scotland, no doubt it'll be called Storm Nicola... as she's also h**l bent on being destructive and destroying Scotland.

[pastafreak]

It's lovely being a Yank on here sometimes....

[ummmm]

I was thinking that, Pasta.

[RandyMarsh]

It looks a bit black over Bill's mothers is a new one on me and i love it!

[RandyMarsh]

We have imported American pop culture since the birth of Jazz, without it we would not have rock and roll!

[pastafreak]

@ ummmm...At least I don't include "have a nice day,y'all". That would really drive some ABers mental.

Maybe I should....;-)

[jim360]

Y'all totally should pasta! Make it a normalcy here on AB... I'm sure people will have gotten used to it in time...

Anyway, brb, going to have to take a raincheck.
