Isn't that what a blizzard significant enough to be known as the "Blizzard of $YEAR" for?

Like the Blizzard of '78.

If the sto4m isn't getting a hurricane designation, does the weather channel get free naming rights?

These aren't unheard of storms. And they can be impressive when they hit landfall.

However, storms of this nature at this time of year are very rare.

Maine just needs to be patient and trust the process.

Yeah, this is/was not even remotely scary.  I'm in coastal New England.  Yesterday was windy, but like just normal wind that's annoying and it's been alternating snow/sleet/freezing rain for the last 12-18 hours. On land, this didn't even feel like a storm.  Just the winter equivalent of a rainy day -- so a mix of snow/sleet/freezing rain depending on where you were.

If it is a hurricane name it would be Arlene.

Blizzard of 78 was a cyclonic event. Dumped snow on most places but for 1/2 a day, Cape Cod was in the 'eye'. Sunny with extreme high tides.

I'm posting this because it needs posting.  It's Lewis Black, so expect NSFW language.

yep.   Any cold cyclone will intensify rapidly when hitting warm water.   The Gulf Stream is still in the 75-80F range where this really developed, so semi-tropical is about right.   Eastern Nova Scotia gets hurricanes every season that redevelop from existing tropical cyclones.   This is just one that hit the right spot at the right time.    Excitement!

Rare in that part of the Atlantic at least.  Get closer to, or cross 60°N and you will for sure run into some wild weather with hurricane like winds.

The North Atlantic are home to some of the roughest seas in the world, though a storm like this bearing down on Maine is indeed rare.
