“bomb cyclone” storm really , they have to stop this ridiculous naming , it’s a winter storm , LOL
The storm has been a loser so far in Michigan where we are on vacation.
Our house in maryland is on a hill so I’m not worried much about flooding. I am concerned about a dead tree at my neighbors house that if it drops will take out my wife’s car.
10:50 am here in Portland Maine 51 degrees with heavy rain. Power went out intown at about 6 am. My brother’s suburban neighborhood still has power which is opposite of what usually happens.
Projected to drop to 14 degrees overnight, but the rain will have stopped so no snow.
“bomb cyclone”
That memo went to every news outlet in the country everyone repeats it over and over and over...........................
Oh I’m sure it’s in all the Stylebooks.
“bomb cyclone” is a shorthand term for “Explosive Cyclogenesis” and describes the development of a storm system. It provides meteorologists a wealth of information with an economy of words.
It’s not their faul people have deliberately misinterpreted it and its usage.

What is bombogenesis?
Bombogenesis is a popular term that describes a midlatitude cyclone that rapidly intensifies.
Bombogenesis, a popular term used by meteorologists, occurs when a midlatitude cyclone rapidly intensifies, dropping at least 24 millibars over 24 hours. A millibar measures atmospheric pressure. This can happen when a cold air mass collides with a warm air mass, such as air over warm ocean waters. The formation of this rapidly strengthening weather system is a process called bombogenesis, which creates what is known as a bomb cyclone.

It’s a “Blizzard”.
No. In Buffalo they are having a blizzard.
Blizzards have very specific criteria to meet to be classified as such.
https://w1.weather.gov/glossary/index.php?word=blizzard
Blizzard
(abbrev. BLZD)- A blizzard means that the following conditions are expected to prevail for a period of 3 hours or longer:
-Sustained wind or frequent gusts to 35 miles an hour or greater; and
-Considerable falling and/or blowing snow (i.e., reducing visibility frequently to less than 1/4 mile)
Blizzard Warning
Issued for winter storms with sustained or frequent winds of 35 mph or higher with considerable falling and/or blowing snow that frequently reduces visibility to 1/4 of a mile or less. These conditions are expected to prevail for a minimum of 3 hours.
Ground Blizzard Warning
When blizzard conditions are solely caused by blowing and drifting snow.
I would be fine with not getting mail for a day or two so someone doesn’t have to drive in that.
It’s not like I’m going to be heading out to my mailbox anyways.
Indeed and they love the word buzz word memos go out every day.
It’s always nice to know that sometimes phrases are not necessarily scare tactics, even when they have been co-opted by the left and used as such.
Merry Christmas and Happy New Year to you, too.
When your power goes out, probably, perhaps you will still have cell service. I suggest you charge any external batteries you may have.
👍👍👍
😂😂😂
Cell service signal is only strong enough for texts if I go outside on the back porch.
So much for 100% coverage…..
