Happy to see Winter Storm Uri go away Written by Tom Broad
Some are calling the 2021 winter storm a “once-in-a-generation” event. Others are calling it “Uri.”
Yes, the 2021 winter storm has a name, thanks to The Weather Channel which, according to The Tribune’s news partner, Patch.com, has been ignoring the meteorological rule book for the last nine years by declaring its own list of 2020-21 winter storm names.
The winter storm that hit Lake Houston right after Valentine’s Day met the strict National Weather Service criteria for winter storm warnings, blizzard warnings and ice storm warnings and earned The Weather Channel’s designation as Winter Storm Uri.
