Storm names

Dear Tom,
The name "Alberta Clipper" denotes both origin and speed of the storm. Are
there any other names for northerly storm systems that affect Chicago? What
about systems that arrive courtesy of our southern neighbors?

Dear Mark,
In addition to "Alberta Clippers," fast-moving snowstorms that originate a
bit farther east in Canada have been dubbed "Saskatchewan Screamers." A
persistent cross-polar jet stream bringing a parade of frigid arctic high
pressure systems to the Midwest is often called the "Siberian Express." As
far as systems originating in warmer areas, a winter pattern that brings
mild but stormy weather from the Pacific to the West Coast and Alaska is
called the "Pineapple Express." Snowstorms that develop in the
Texas/Oklahoma region are referred to as "Panhandle Hooks," and those that
develop in the lower Mississippi Valley sometimes carry the name "Louisiana
or Mississippi Rebel."
