As the weather changes and summer turns to winter, the air becomes cold, the temperature drops, and winter snowstorms often set in.
In both the US and the UK there is a system in place for naming winter storms. The UK began this practice in 2015, following on from the US, which started naming storms in 2012.
So far in 2020, we have witnessed many different storm names and there are many more to come. In the US, the National Weather Channel announced that Abigail, Billy, Constance, and Dane, among many others, would be the names of storms in 2020.
The name of winter storms in the naming process has become a usual part of our lives over the past years, if you have a child born into the middle of a winter storm, you may want to give them an appropriate winter storm name.
To help save you time, we have compiled a list of the best winter storm-inspired baby names.
Like hurricane names, winter storm names are chosen in alphabetical order, which is why we have selected these beautiful snow, storm, and winter-inspired storm and hurricane names very carefully for you.
