I think it is more appropriate if we rename this article "2016 Groundhog Day North American blizzard", as today is Groundhog Day, and this storm is projected to impact Canada as well tomorrow. Feedback? --

Neutral on "United States"/"North America"|Oppose Groundhog Day - While the United States is a part of North America,
Groundhog Day may not be a holiday that is recognized around the entire world where this encyclopedia is used, whereas the
Gregorian calendar is. --

It would seem that the February 2016 United States blizzard (aka the February 2016 North American blizzard and, unofficially, "Winter Storm Kayla") is turning into not only the third major blizzard of the season but the second North American storm complex of the season with the current Tornado Outbreak and severe storm east of the blizzard. It is too soon to tell, but if there is a need for a name change, we may need to be February 2016 North American Storm Complex (and NOT any of the above names. P.S. NO WEATHER CHANNEL NAMES - at least not yet).--

@
Knowledgekid87 and
Cyclonebiskit: I left a note to Cyclonebiskit about me mistakenly CSD-ing the wrong redirect, which resulted in it being changed to "winter storm." I'll ask the same thing here; should this be changed back to "storm complex" or is "winter storm" fine?

@
Knowledgekid87 and
United States Man: It depends on what the most notable aspect of the system was: winter or severe weather. Off-hand it appears that the winter side was more notable so that gives weight to the "winter storm" title, but I honestly don't have a preference either. I'll move it back to the original title if requested. ~
