The Name the Wind Storm contest ended
at 12 Noon PST on January 4, 2007. We received over 5000 messages with
nominations for naming the wind storm, an overwhelming and impressive response.
A committee of National Weather Service (NWS) Seattle staff members are plowing
through all the entries. It is anticipated they will finish this process and
select a winner soon. The winning name will be announced at the Pacific NW
Weather Workshop at the Seattle NOAA campus on Friday March 2nd at 1 PM. For
those who participated in the contest, thank you for your entry and good luck!
