First it was GLOBAL WARMING... when that didn't sell they went to GLOBAL COOLING... that failed also and now we're on CLIMATE CHANGE.
When CLIMATE CHANGE goes toilet WHAT'S NEXT???
Meh. This was pretty much a weekly event this winter in Minnesota, snow’s still piled high.
We lost power for 7 hours. We produced lots of carbon by burning our nat gas fireplace and cooking over our nat gas kitchen stove. Good thing we have nat gas. Liberals are trying to take it away from us.
But the kids went on “climate strike”!!!!
-—I was living at Climax for the ‘61 Labor Day weekend storm—ended up with 379 inches that season-—
Congratulations! Are you going to call him "Whitey"?
Congratulations on the birth of your grandchild.....and it’s wonderful to know baby and parents and grandparents are doing well!
That storm is being called a “bomb cyclone” by the weather people on my local news channel.
Will be glad when the snows are over for this year.
Not sure reason for the “historic” term, but may be due to the lowest barometric pressure recorded for the date? Big deal made of this on local CO media...
Talking heads kept hyping the “bomb cyclone”...From the term bombogenesis...
The day before in Colorado, the temps reached 59, 60 degrees. I was stepping out of my car the day of the storm. Needed to clean the ice off of my wipers. Right there on I-76 near Barr Lake. The pavement was like walking on a sheet of ice cubes. The traffic was stopped. Nothing was moving for about 10 min. When traffic started up again, I headed for the Barr Lake exit ramp and headed back to Denver. Across the street from my house, an evergreen tree had been blown over onto a neighbors house. The winds were from the north and the tree fell due South. The Earth is getting cooler.
I just returned from what was going to be a quick trip from the Midwest to the NW to take care of some personal business. The cancellation of all the flights through Denver really complicated my return. I wound up having to take the scenic route: Spokane to San Jose to Los Angeles to KC. All the seats taken by spring breakers over the weekend really reduced options.
It is CO, we get snow into May, easily.

And, I actually enjoyed local news Twitter feeds; they got out in the white out snow, uploaded small clips.
elteemike is correct. Historic is in reference to the pace of the pressure drop and low recording of the barometric pressure. A couple of places recorded their lowest pressure on record in this storm.
Otherwise, the wind and snow were not historic.
The stupid people that insisted on getting out in the blizzard on the other hand... stay home, seriously.
October 2011, I think we had 14-18” of snow. Devastated my trees.
November 2014, we had a cold front hit one morning, and massive, very cold snow. Think that morning, 9-10 am, it was 60. By noon, it was below freezing.
