Well, you never know. A non-tropical low that far north can surprise you the way Arlene did; and it's debatable as to whether Arlene should have been named yet; but then again a january sub-tropical storm didn't get a name and maybe it SHOULD have, but maybe the NHC didn't want to name it for frar of criticism of naming it since it was January and not June. Too keep folks happy, they likely decided not naming that borderline storm. I am sure they get SOME flak for doing just that; naming SOME borderline hybrid storms.
