So apparently we are experiencing a "Bomb Cyclone"
I am not sure which is dumber by the idiots at the weather channel.
Made up words like "Bomb Cyclone"
or naming winter storms.
Idiots. That is all

Bombogenesis, a popular term used by meteorologists, occurs when a midlatitude cyclone rapidly intensifies, dropping at least 24 millibars over 24 hours. A millibar measures atmospheric pressure. This can happen when a cold air mass collides with a warm air mass, such as air over warm ocean waters. The formation of this rapidly strengthening weather system is a process called bombogenesis, which creates what is known as a bomb cyclone.
Whatever it's called, it's c-c-c-cold here...24...real feel like 6 with 24 MPH winds...brrrrrr...

Jabberwocky:
Twas brillig, and the slithy toves
Did gyre and gimble in the wabe;
All mimsy were the borogoves,
And the mome raths outgrabe.
“Beware the Jabberwock, my son
The jaws that bite, the claws that catch!
Beware the Jubjub bird, and shun
The frumious Bandersnatch!”
He took his vorpal sword in hand;
Long time the manxome foe he sought—
So rested he by the Tumtum tree,
And stood awhile in thought.
And, as in uffish thought he stood,
The Jabberwock, with eyes of flame,
Came whiffling through the tulgey wood,
And burbled as it came!
One, two! One, two! And through and through
The vorpal blade went snicker-snack!
He left it dead, and with its head
He went galumphing back.
“And hast thou slain the Jabberwock?
Come to my arms, my beamish boy!
O frabjous day! Callooh! Callay!”
He chortled in his joy.
‘Twas brillig, and the slithy toves
Did gyre and gimble in the wabe;
All mimsy were the borogoves,
And the mome raths outgrabe.

Back when I lived in upstate NY we had bomb cyclones from time to time. We called them "snow storms" or, in extreme circumstances, "really bad snow storms". Granted, they weren't as much fun as a bomb cyclone sounds but they got the job done.
The term "Bombogenesis" is being tossed around like rice at a wedding, and it's a word no one has heard or spoken outside a meteorology classroom until yesterday. It's just another Snowmageddon, storm-of-the-century-of-the-month, we're mostly used to it out here. Even TheWeatherChannel has to sell adds though, I guess they're just trying to make weather exciting.
With the temperatures we've been having, I'm surprised "Polar Vortex" hasn't become a buzz phrase again.

It's usually just called a nor' ester.
Supposed to get 12-18 inches here by tomorrow morning, so I just call it a pain in the ass.
No sir it is not usually called a nor' easter. Bombogenesis refers to the rate and depth of falling barometric pressure in an extratropical cyclone...It has nothing to do with the type of precipitation or the wind direction at a given location...
This tread represents another mocking of science which is killing our nation's leadership capacity in the sciences..
I never claimed the term I used was the correct scientific name.
You really have to make a huge extrapolation and some very broad assumptions about me, to assume I'm anti-science just because I used a casual term for a bad winter storm.
Now bend over Sir, and slowly pull that thing out of your backside.
