Move

[edit]

Since it was a tropical storm, the correct name should be 1952 Groundhog Day Tropical Storm. Jdorje 21:21, 25 November 2005 (UTC)[reply]

'When the storm formed in the western Caribbean Sea in February, it became the only Atlantic storm in history' I guessing this means to form in February, but as I'm no expert but shouldnt a bit be added? Bevo74 08:10, 1 December 2005 (UTC)[reply]

I disaggree. 1952 Groundhog Day Tropical Storm is too wordy. Remove tropical. Mentioning it in the article should be sufficient. -- Hurricane Eric - my dropsonde - archive 22:40, 20 December 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Todo

[edit]

This article isn't bad. It needs better wikification, more on the impact, maybe a few more records listed. Jdorje 07:33, 9 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Well, there is very little notable information here. Jdorje 01:12, 20 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Dissipation date

[edit]

It seems to me that as the storm became extratropical at 0000 UTC on Feb. 4, the dissipation date should be listed as the 4th. Unless, of course, it became extratropical by 0000 UTC. –Juliancolton Tropical Cyclone 03:41, 5 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Well, we know at 0000 UTC, it was an extratropical cyclone. Therefore, it must have become an extratropical cyclone slightly before then, as ex. transition takes a while. That's why it should be the 3rd. ♬♩ Hurricanehink (talk) 03:43, 5 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]
True, although we should really be following the official designations; thus, if it was officially deemed ET on February 4, then it officially dissipated on that day. –Juliancolton Tropical Cyclone 03:54, 5 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]
That's not how the NHC does it. Hurricane Frances became an EC at 0000 on September 9, but they say it lasted until the 8th. ♬♩ Hurricanehink (talk) 04:01, 5 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Good enough for me. You win. :) –Juliancolton Tropical Cyclone 04:02, 5 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]
