In Europe they are? Usually, those are maritime storms happening during winter though. Like Cyclone Gudrun in January 2005 that brought 7-8°C Atlantic seawater temperatures and brutal gusts over Scandinavia.

Apparently the UK just started doing this 5 years ago (Abigail), which is around the same time The Weather Channel also started naming US winter storms human names, starting with Athena.

Yep. I'm pretty sure named winter storms are a Weather Channel-ism designed to get more eyeballs to watch their commercials. Not only are you supposed to rush to the store to buy all the ingredients for French Toast. You're also supposed to use the Weather Channel name for the storm.
Stooopidest thing ever. I ski. I have AWD and snow tires. For me, it's just "powder day".
It makes more sense to hype hurricanes so people actually do proper storm prep and evacuate if they need to. I have to get the boat hauled, pull the inflatable dinghy off the float, fish the plywood window/door panels out of the debris pile in the garage, stuff all the deck furniture in the garage, start the chainsaw, dig out the oil lamps, etc.
