tubby_mcgee 683 Posted April 11, 2019 I hate that word/phrase. "Bomb Cyclone" It wasn't even a thing a few years back. Its the media's way of making click bait. BOMB GOES OFF! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

wiffleball 4,618 Posted April 11, 2019 Pretty sure it was The weather channel that started naming winter storms. From a marketing standpoint, brillion. From a I want to gouge my ear balls out perspective, it's the worst. Standing joke around here is the one of our local stations is in storm mode. Of course, they've been in the storm mode since 10 hours before the first snowflake fell. We're not entirely sure what store mode is, other than a bag of noxious graphic at the bottom of the screen or perhaps the upper left-hand corner, or perhaps both. But they mention it about 30 times an hour. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Drizzay 638 Posted April 11, 2019 I have no idea why I drove into work today. We got about a half foot of heavy wet stuff, compacted down to ice at all of the intersections. Plus, all of the foreigners have no idea how to drive their Honda Civic in this stuff. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Local media and weather people call them Winter Storms, and Blizzards, according to the classifications. They don't ever use the term bomb cyclone or polar vortex. That being said....school was called off here because of snowstorm on October 10, 2018....and April 12, 2019. 6 focking months apart. HAS to be a record. Oh the joys of living in ND.
