				<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>A storm brewing in the Mid Atlantic could make things interesting here in a few days.</p>
<p>A lot can happen before Wednesday and Thursday, when the storm is expect to hit, but there&#8217;s apparently enough concern about the storm that the National Weather Service <a href="http://www.erh.noaa.gov/okx/FB_Briefings/WxBriefing_FB.pdf">issued a briefing Monday afternoon</a>.</p>
<p>Projection models show two scenarios unfolding. Either the storm will move off the Mid Atlantic coast and blow out to sea, or it will move off the coast and then turn toward New York and Connecticut.</p>
<p>If the latter happens, things could get bad. According to the NWS, potential impacts include heavy wet snow, moderate coastal flooding and high winds that could cause scattered outages.</p>
<p>Quincy Vagell, a meteorologist for WTNH, <a href="https://twitter.com/danburyweather">tweeted</a> the storm could bring up to 16 inches of snow to Southwestern Connecticut and even more to the northeastern part of the state.</p>
<p><a href="http://blog.ctnews.com/weather/files/2013/03/Screenshot_3_4_13_4_54_PM.jpg"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-719" title="Screenshot_3_4_13_4_54_PM" src="http://blog.ctnews.com/weather/files/2013/03/Screenshot_3_4_13_4_54_PM.jpg" alt="" width="515" height="86" /></a></p>
<p>Again, a lot can change between now and then. We&#8217;ll keep you posted.</p>

				<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>You may have noticed by now that the snowstorm headed our way is named Nemo. Perhaps when you saw that, you thought, &#8220;That&#8217;s weird, it&#8217;s not a hurricane. And when were storms A-M?&#8221;</p>
<p>Well last year, the Weather Channel <a href="http://www.weather.com/news/weather-winter/why-we-name-winter-storms-20121001">decided it was going to start naming winter storms</a>, mainly, the Weather Channel says, because it helps raise awareness of the storm and makes it easier to follow. Also, Europe does it, so why not?</p>
<p>If you see us calling the storm &#8220;Nemo,&#8221; it&#8217;s probably just because it&#8217;s shorter than &#8220;massive thunder snow blizzard,&#8221; but if we&#8217;re raising your awareness of it, all the better.</p>
<p>And if you think Nemo is a bad name, just be glad it&#8217;s not winter storm Walda or Yogi that&#8217;s ruining your weekend.</p>
