In the 50s & 60s, it was SNOW. Then it became Nor’Easter, and now it’s Bomb Cyclone. (((SIGH)))

The only thing worse than a “bomb cyclone” is “total protonic reversal”.

Nor’easters are simply storms that follow a certain development and track pattern. Not every snow storm is a nor’easter.

A bomb cyclone is not necessarily a nor’easter. It just describes a storm where rapid intensification of the storm happens with the central pressure dropping 24 mb in 24 hours, which results in strong winds.

Snow, nor’easter, and bomb cyclone are not synonymous terms that can be used interchangeably.

“Then it became Nor’Easter”,

Wrong. The term “Nor’Easter” has been used since the 1700’s.

I recommend they give these “cyclone bombs” macho names like “Fatman” and “Little Boy”.
