Another storm again - starting tonight edit

Hi there - there is another winter storm for California starting tonight, Sunday, Feb 25. This will likely make national news and possibly merit a second article, or we should rename this one to represent both storms.

Please advise - given that we will now have two winter storms in North America this month. Thanks! Missvain (talk) 01:38, 26 February 2023 (UTC)Reply

Missvain, thanks for bringing this up! I was watching that one as well and IMO, I believe we might need to rename this article to represent both storms. Tails Wx 12:16, 26 February 2023 (UTC)Reply
I think that's a great idea. Missvain (talk) 01:41, 27 February 2023 (UTC)Reply
Sure is! I might need some assistance from other editors, so tomorrow will most likely rename it. Thanks! Tails Wx 03:06, 27 February 2023 (UTC)Reply
Are we sure these should be considered separate systems. The WPC appears to be treating them as a singular winter storm. If so, we will need to join this article and February 2023 Southern Plains derecho. wxtrackercody (talk · contributions) 21:25, 27 February 2023 (UTC)Reply
Both of them together? I do sense that these two systems may be connected together, but the TWC lists separate names for them, like Olive and Piper. But really those are unofficial and I guess it is singular. So, join Olive and Piper together? Tails Wx 21:29, 27 February 2023 (UTC)Reply
I talked to a WPC forecaster who agrees they were part of a singular system, so we'll need to combine the contents of these two articles. This also creates a headache for the name, since the California event was covered extensively just as the derecho. wxtrackercody (talk · contributions) 23:19, 27 February 2023 (UTC)Reply
Hm. Is this OR? Just to clarify. Tails Wx 23:42, 27 February 2023 (UTC)Reply
No, I'm just offering confirmation of what's already conveyed by the source I provided above--they're treating it as a singular system. wxtrackercody (talk · contributions) 23:53, 27 February 2023 (UTC)Reply
Ok! So it's the winter storm and the tornado outbreak combined, right? Anyway, what name should we rename it to? February 2023 North American storm complex? Any ideas? Tails Wx 00:32, 28 February 2023 (UTC)Reply
Also, BTW, it's going to be some hard work combining it, but we've got this! Tails Wx 13:20, 28 February 2023 (UTC)Reply
