Not an official name, the Weather Channel named it.  Since Trumpolini pretty much gutted the NOAA anyhow, the weather bizness is now privatized anyway.

Anyhow, looks to be a really good one for people to check out their Disaster Unpreparedness.  Ice will be bringing down power lines with copious loss of power and heat.  FEMA also has been gutted, so quite a few people will definitely die.

Blockbuster storm starts spreading snow, ice across the US with devastating impacts to come

The map shows us getting snow. The kid used the leaf blower to blow it all elsewhere. Cold though. Talked to some folks back East, they are being told a foot or so.

Amateur hour compared to what it was like when I lived in Edmonton. Americans have grown soft over the years it seems like. Scared out of their underpants when someone says "BOO!!!" seems like.
