Tampa, FL 1/17/77, I remember those winters. A major reason why most of the citrus groves north of The Rat (Orlando) went under and the owners sold to developers.

Forget about polar vortex as an excuse for how global warming is causing extreme cold weather. A brave new word seems to have replaced it: "bombogenesis."
The most enthusiastic promoter of bombogenesis in the mainstream media is non climate expert, physicist Michio Kaku. Although Kaku previously used the polar vortex excuse frequently, he has now enthusiastically embraced "bombogenesis" as you can see in his CBS This Morning report below which he delivers in such apocalyptic terms that he claims the weather will be so extreme later this week that the temperature drop will last most of the rest of this month:

Or Obamogenesis.
I’m clearly not up on the language, and confused about lots of things.
I can remember many years in which the weather really starts to get colder and colder in most of the country by mid-November. Is this not just part of seasonal change? Is there something else going on? Is it part of global warming to see such cold weather hit the country in mid-November? Were we all ignorant back in the day, and just thought seasonal change was behind changes in the weather this time of year? What the heck????
Obamagenesis. Now THAT is a sign of imminent destruction!
76/77/78 was a stretch of real cold winters in the midwest, capped by the “blizzard”. I was running a full size Chevy van and even with the grill blocked with cardboard and a blanket behind the driver seat to screen of the back part it was a cold ride when it got to 20 below.
I suggested to my offspring last year that this pattern could repeat, and could be happening. Grateful for cheap nat gas.
Sounds like a cheesy John Lovetz impersonation, as the Pathological Liar from his SNL days. No, I never said it was the polar vortex, it’s really, UM, let’s see BOMBOGENESIS! yeah yeah, THAT’S the ticket...
Not to worry over the change in terminology.
Ever since media got hysterical over temperature, GLOWBULL warming, and other exaggerating media events ,
it still is using the English language, fortunately.
I still call it what was named 20 or so years ago : .. an "Alberta Clipper".
Global warming? Again, still??? I don’t see how anyone can say that with a straight face. Talk about your tired old scams that have run their course. I seriously cannot believe anyone is still beating this dead horse. Why not simply stand up and announce “I’m a jack**s!”
I remember the winter of 76/77 in Delaware. The ocean was frozen about a quarter of a mile out from the shore. Lots of patterns in place now to mirror that winter.
It’s called “Winter”.
“Winter” is a non-technical term for Bombogenesis, AKA, “Polar Vortex” (Caused by Global warming, AKA Climate Change), which, years ago in New England, was known as “The Montreal Express”.
My maternal grandfather Bill was not a scientist, but he did recognize the truism that the further NORTH you were, the colder the “Winters”.
Sometimes, the prevailing winds would cause the cold air from Montreal to track south-east and bring large amounts of frozen precipitation into the Boston Area, which was colloquially known as “Snow”. Though white and fluffy while falling, the “Snow” would rapidly take on the varying hues of soot, grime, and dog waste (colloquially known as “poop”), and by law, had to be removed from the public sidewalks by the next day. Snow plows that shoved the aforementioned goulash back onto your sidewalk were no excuse!
Anyway, Bill was a veteran of WW1, and I think he preferred the trenches of Europe to shoveling “Snow”. I used to hear him mutter “DAMN THOSE CANADIANS” as he shoveled!
I’m sure God chuckles when he hears the term global warming, LOL.
With a name like Kaku you know he’s got to be full of it . . . .
It used to be called "The Jet Stream."
Oooh, A gremlin! My folks had one. Straight 6 and a 3 speed auto. Mechanically it ran great. However it started rusting on the showroom floor and never stopped.

i heard of a new word called “winter” that may be used soon.
instead of cold front or cold snap, right?
Yep, we had a ice storm and about an inch of snow on Christmas eve-Christmas day int he Jacksonville area in 1978. Closed all the bridges over the st. .johns river and pretty much hosed up the late Christmas shoppers... It was pretty cold.
OO so scary like some kind of genesis bomb that kills all life unless oyu elect democrats and give them everyting you ever had or ever will have so they can lord over you and save you from nothing at all!
