It's that time of the month again to elect which storm or weather event will become the "Storm of the Month." You may nominate as many storms or weather events as you want. The election will take place in three days.

Nope, because it was chosen as Storm of the Month for January...

As for the Aussie fires, they were also nominated in January. Really, there wasn't a whole lot that happened in February!

No, the heat wave was nominated in January and therefore lost to the US Ice Storm, as it was just a heatwave.

The fires were February 7 and will most likely run away with this month's voting unless a majority decides that an isolated tornado hitting a trailer park or a powerful cyclone that never made landfall were more notable.

NOMINATE THE FIRE ALREADY. :(

Thanks for all your cooperation.
