Support per nom. I suspect this article was so named because of the snow/ice element, but seeing as a large number of European windstorms occur in winter and our naming policy is to title them "Storm X" rather than "Winter Storm X" then this should be moved to reflect that.

Usually Storm named by Spain, Portugal and France will have a format "Storm X". I believe this is the common name, rather than "Cyclone X". --

Propose deletion/move material to windstorm season page and Beast from the east page.
I've always wondered why we have two articles covering this subject. I was going to suggest moving the information from the cold wave to this article, particularly as that one includes some data relating to other countries outside the sphere of the British Isles. However, Storm Emma did not cause that cold spell, but perhaps prolonged it, so I think yours is the better suggestion. At some point let's have a go at merging it with
2018 Great Britain and Ireland cold wave, though I guess we can't do anything immediately since the move discussion will need to run its course. Storm Emma should have an entry on the relevant European windstorm page though.
