First ... there is no dictionary definition for this so called word (none that I found, anyway) indicating it is completely invented as recently as the last time dictionaries "interviewed" and included (new) words

Second, it seems bombogenesis is a hyper cyclogenesis (not to be confused with just plain ol' cyclogenesis) which is cyclonic in nature and not a "temperature" thing at all

Third ... I have a headache trying to figure this whole thing out and I have to leave for church, anyway.

bombogenesis
(Auto-redirected from BOMBOGENESIS)
English
Noun (meteorology) Rapid, or extreme cyclogenesis, often characterized by a barometric pressure drop of 24 millibars in a 24 hour period.

Are we not sure this didn't come from Bombastic Bushkin? ;)

"First ... there is no dictionary definition for this so called word..."

The climate change channel, which has most mercifully given us the names of every winter storm since 2012, says it's a word, and, in the name of his most eminent, Jim Cantore, we must abide.
