So, apparently, in Germany companies can pay to name weather fronts. I assume this is great publicity if your company gets credit for a white Christmas or a perfectly breezy early summer day.

Unfortunately for BMW, they lent the surname of their classic Mini Cooper to a deadly winter storm. This somehow leads to them taking some responsibility for THE WEATHER! :lol:

Now I'm wondering what I would name a front if I were over there...
