Here is the methodology used to arrive at this name.
Weve thought about it long and hard this morning and although Make Winter Great Again has the most votes and is certainly hilarious it doesnt make for a good name, or a good hashtag. So were going with the runner up: #Snowzilla!
Snowzilla makes so much sense to us because of its perfect nod to this Godzilla El Nino. And quite frankly, this could be a Godzilla-sized winter storm.
