"Bomb Cyclone" Weather Event

[RedAngie]

In other words, winter is here.

What does one wear for such an awesome event? I still have time to hit Macy's or Lord & Taylor to find a smashing outfit. Or will Walmart attire suffice?

Did the Weather Channel christen this storm with a name yet?

LOL, I just checked the weather channel website and saw that. I was like *** is a bomb cyclone.
I think this one is Grayson

I didn't think cyclones occurred in this hemisphere -- and I have never heard of a bomb cyclone until now.

I'm pretty sure etiquette says you shouldn't wear white.

 

[amberpi]

Lol! You really have to worry about impressing a "bomb cyclone."

I think that'd be a North Face type of situation...only the very best fleece.

And agree with PP. Don't wear white. We'll never find you.

Yes, I heard that term when I was watching the weather but at that moment I didn't have time to stick around to learn what it meant. Do I want to know what it means?! I probably should since we already have a blizzard warning in effect.

I don't know what is appropriate attire, but I just braved Market Basket - which was absolutely bananas, by the way - to get a new "Ergie" shovel! I saw it advertised while I was at the dentist and I marched right down to Market Basket and got the second to last one! Can't wait to test it out!

This just doesn't make any sense......how could it be freezing out???? The earth makes its CLOSEST approach to the sun about January 3 or 4.

Very concerned that people are so uninformed about the etiquette of dressing for this event. How shameful

This just doesn't make any sense......how could it be freezing out???? The earth makes its CLOSEST approach to the sun about January 3 or 4.

Pull yourself together, the important consideration is whether or not you are schooling yourself in the proper fashion the occasion calls for! Nobody got time for science-y stuff at this point.

I wear my regular work clothes. And I get paid overtime for this bomb cyclone!! Thank you mother nature for helping pay for our cruise

A large scale airmass that rotates around a center of low pressure doesn't occur in this hemisphere? News to me.

Because God loves the infantry.

I thought cyclones were in the southern hemisphere, hurricanes in northern?

Proper attire for this event is pajama pants, a tshirt and a hoodie.

I'll likely put my boots on along with my winter coat at some point tomorrow to supervise the teenager as he shovels.

Finally, someone who did their research!

You forgot the extra large mug of coffee, while supervising.

Perhaps with whiskey to shake the cold.

 

[NFLDERS]

Pfft!

Y'all may have seen this, been around for a while, but I like to re-watch before heading to Market Basket on days like these...

_Simply put, bomb cyclogenesis is the formation of an "extratropical area of low pressure in which the central barometric pressure drops at least 24 millibars in 24 hours." [1] However, it should be noted that this represents the most common case in areas that are north of 60 degrees latitude. Sanders and Gyakum, who coined the term "Bomb Cyclones" set the pressure falls needed to reach bomb status at 19 millibars in 24 hours at 45 degrees and 23 millibars in 24 hours at 55 degrees. [2]

_____The following is a list of four basics facts about bomb cyclones: [3]

__________A) They have cold air and cold air fronts.
__________B) They form under strong uppper level winds.
__________C) They occur during the winter.
__________D) The mainly form in the Northwest Pacific and Northwest Atlantic (which
____________ means that they may have something to do with the formation of Nor'easters).

What does one wear? I am wearing my jammies, or sweats, and blankie. NO SCHOOL, NO WORK, it's already cancelled for tomorrow, WAHOO!! A day off with pay, so I can finish my Christmas books!!
