The name Kyrill stems from a German practice of naming weather systems. Anyone may name one, for a fee. Naming a high-pressure system costs $385, while low-pressure systems, which are more common, go for $256. Three siblings paid to name this system as a 65th birthday gift for their father, not knowing that it would grow into a fierce storm.
Strange, but I'd like someone to name the next Hurricane after me. "Hurricane Bubba made landfall today at 8:30 10 miles SW of Port Arther."

What a strange way to tell someone you love them!
The perfect gift for the man that has everything? The cheesy name a star after someone seems like a better thing to do. At least that is much less likely to cause destruction.
From the article, there's a picture of a cow in Scotland that got snowed in. Too cute!
