[edit] Aphid

Where did the name "Aphid" come from? ~MDD4696 06:49, 20 October 2006 (UTC)

I was actually just about to add that bit now -- it's the National Weather Service's official name for it (see Historic Lake Effect Snow Storm of October 12-13, 2006 which should actually be in references rather than external links). It looks like the media have (almost?) settled on "October Surprise" but they seem to keep sort of changing it, and it looks to me as though they are still feeling about for a proper name. At the time I started the article, The noaa name seemed the most official of those out there. Jskelly 17:59, 20 October 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Redirect from October Surprise Storm

There was a duplicate of this article at October Surprise Storm - pretty much all the same information was there, but written independently of this one. I've redirected that article here. ATren 06:22, 7 January 2007 (UTC)
