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.

Ok, so it’s a “blizzard”.

Don’t the Eskimos have a million or so words for snow?

It’s fear porn. Nobody cares how it developed or an origin. For a hundred years it was a North Easter snow storm or an Artic cold front ... but a bomb cyclone or polar vortex is so much scarier.
