44 is Rielly good
To each their own, but if it was called ice storm Steve when it happened I'm sure people that were impacted/near would remember it by that name.It's more recognizeable when they're current for sure. But after a while, the name by date and location(s) makes more sense.
If I say "hurricane Fran" most people would probably not be able to picture anything. But if I said hurricane -cape verde- August 23rd, 1996.
You know the time and place.
It's like teaching our grandkids about ice storm 98 - north east of north America... Rather than calling it ice storm Steve.
Or take the may 2022 Canadian derecho. If it was just called derecho Bob...years later, people won't know when it happened or where or why it's called that.
I'll remember Hurricane Katrina my whole life, but I didn't the date until I looked it up recently. Given there was multiple large hurricanes that year, it's easier than remembering the dates of each.
Hope all are safe and/or evacuated.
