Even though the storm will be moving along quickly, it will strengthen off the mid-Atlantic and New England coasts, according to AccuWeather Senior Meteorologist Joe Lundberg. It is likely to become "the first bomb cyclone of the 2022 winter season” in the Northeast, he added. A bomb cyclone is defined as a storm that’s central pressure plummets by 0.71 of an inch of mercury (24 millibars) within 24 hours. That means the storm could whip up strong winds and pull in more moisture, helping it to fuel heavier snow rates as it chugs up the Eastern Seaboard.
The heaviest snow is expected to spread across eastern Kentucky and West Virginia into parts of Maryland, northern Virginia, western North Carolina and far northeastern parts of Tennessee by Thursday night. The most significant accumulations are expected to remain north and west of Washington, D.C., with 1 to 3 inches predicted in the nation’s capital.

Give Pete Bootyjudge a shovel and drive him out to I-95
Another one?
Please warn Coonman in advance as much as possible.
He’s busy breastfeeding.
“the first bomb cyclone of the 2022 winter season”

AKA “snow”
“1 to 3 inches predicted in the nation’s capital.”
Oh, Jeez. We got 10” last week in one night in ND and we all still went to work.
Perhaps we've begun the Brittle cold winter projected in the Farmers Almanac.
Bomb cyclone...Didn’t they used to be called snow storms?
Remember when it was just “weather”? Pepperidge Farm remembers.
Pesky “Climate Change” showing the nation her stuff; charging you, the taxpayer, double to see the chaos produced. Anticipating big news, the FAKE MEDIA must make NOISE to demand your attention. It’s what they do. It’s ALL they do (PERIOD)
30 trillion feet of snow in DC would be a good start...
Bomb cyclones with names instead of snow storms, polar vortex instead of Artic front, etc. Nothing but weather fear porn to push climate change conspiracy theory.
I guess in order to obtain your weather reporting credentials, it is now mandatory to take classes in hyperbole
The “Global Warming” speeches will be on hold for another week......
No.
It’s a term used to describe rapid intensification of the storm which could result in stronger winds and increased snowfall because of the winds resulting form a steep pressure gradient.
It’s not about the intensity of the storm but about it’s development.
DC beltway was empty today even though there wasn’t any snow.
I suspect many are hiding from the Omigod virus.
No, it’s not fear porn.
It’s a description of how the storm developed.
Bomb cyclone is about how fast the pressure drops.
Polar vortex is about its origin.
Wish to purchase a new EV?
The used car dealerships will soon have a glutton of vehicles
on their lots after this winter’s exposure. These northern
folk will have lost their patience or have died (be it frozen to death or by shock) The perfect year for Mother Nature to show her capability. Car manufacturers are popping pills like crazy, as well as pulling out their hair because of STUPID decisions recently made.
Ok, so it’s a “blizzard”.
