It may have incurred the wrath of the weather gods, but Accuweather is undaunted. The privately-owned meteorological service has encountered some stormy weather after deploying the term “snowicane” to describe last week’s approaching east coast snow storm.
(And I thought #snowpolcalypse and #snowmageddon were over the top!)
Here’s an excerpt from an AP story titled:
“Snowpocalypse to snowicane: Hype reigns in winter:“
“‘It’s almost inciting the public, inciting panic,’ Evanego said of AccuWeather’s terminology.” ‘It’s not an apt analogy to compare this winter storm, which is really all about cold air and jet stream, with a hurricane, which is all about heat and … things of tropical origin,’ said Bruce Rose, vice president and principal scientist at The Weather Channel.”
Yet, in spite of the criticism for hyping the storm, AccuWeather media relations manager Justin Roberti today emailed me a news release with the following headline:
AccuWeather.com Repeatedly Breaks Traffic Records
During Mid-Atlantic Snowstorms
Successful Site Launches New Version to Serve Customers Better
May it rain cats and dogs on those other weather forecasters, the release begged. If the word “snowicane” brings more visitors to our website, then we’ll continue to scare the bejesus out of our weather-worn fans.
