"Winter Storm Jonas Shows That Weezer Should Be the Basis for Naming All Storms"

From GQ. Best line, because it deserves to be noted: "The East Coast is about to be hammered by a major snowstorm called Winter Storm Jonas. Now, personally, I don't remember when we started naming blizzards as if they were hurricanes. Didn't people just use to identify them by the year? Like that time at Thanksgiving your dad said, "Oh, I'll never forget the blizzard of ’78. That was the weekend your mother and I got cooped up at the cabin with only a fire and a bearskin rug to keep us warm..." (It turns out we started doing this in 2012.) Anyway, I guess we're naming winter storms now, and I say great! So long as they continue to be named after Weezer songs, as I assume Winter Storm Jonas was."
