Here in South Jersey it has dropped form 1021.7 at 6:00 pm to 1016.3 at 11:49 pm. Not that much but still it is dropping.
1002.7 at 6:00 am
Weather people are always inventing new terminology for the latest big event. This is basically just a big nor’easter.
But then they (whoever "they" are) have named this "Winter Storm Grayson" like it is a hurricane. Why?

The NWS and other weather agencies objected to TWC doing this and refuse to use the names. Unfortunately it gained a lot of traction a few years ago when the former mayor of NYC used one of TWC’s names as a twitter hashtag and that put the winter storm names into mainstream usage.

I stopped watching their channel after that BS started (not that I did much watching to begin with, but…)

Wind storms in Europe are really only named in some countries (UK, Ireland) - take 'ex-Ophelia' for example.

We already have had Ana, Bruno and now Carmen. A different list from that used in the British Isles, but they are working together to write a single list for all five countries next year.
Why would Andorra be excluded?
If you can control the meaning of words, you can control the people who must use them.
