Hello there! This is the lead forecaster, Keranique, from the Keranique Hypothetical Meteorological Center. This season will be our first snowcane season we have tracked so far. If you see a storm name with a hashtag, then it is a named storm. Otherwise, usually tags will say #SnowpressionOne or something else. Anyway, in order for a storm to form, at least 1 inch of snow has to be on the ground. After that, to become named, it has to have 4 inches. To become a category one snowcane, it has to have at least 7 inches on the ground. To become a category two snowcane, it has to have 10 inches. Category three snowcanes, also known as a major snowcane, has to have 13 inches. Category four snowcanes have to have 17 inches on the ground, and category 5 snowcanes have to have 24 inches or more on the ground.
