Bomb cyclone

[Big_John]

My cousin use to live in Pulaski NY, she come down for Thanksgiving one year and I questioned her on the snowstorm that dumped 6' of snow up her way in October. All her reply was "Yea and we got a new snowplow driver... took out all the mailboxes on the road!" he he... My reply was "Well it's early in the season, ya gotta push it back ya know".

My wife lived about 20 miles south of Pulaski when we met. The day we sold her house, the snow was up to my chest and we couldn't get near the house with the car. We parked on the main road and waded through the snow.

I think it's stupid that the media called it a "bomb cyclone". As if a major storm hasn't plowed through the NE before, the ignorant c*nts. One of the local weathermen out here in the bay area even said on air that he's never heard of the term before. Hysteria.

I don't watch any weather people on TV,and try to avoid the radio also. They just love to turn simple sunshine into a big whoopty-do! so they can get more ratings. I simply use 2 weather apps to get a general idea of how the DAY is going to be. I don't trust them part about 12 hours for accuracy, I learned that seeing th hourly weather change dramatically the year I lived near Philly. I think they spun a wheel to determine the forecast.

The term "bomb" cyclone is a shortened version of Bombogenesis cyclone which is a meteorological term for a rapidly intensifying cyclone. It actually has nothing to do with a likeness to bombs, but yes the media made as much out of it as they could.

It got up to 34 here today... felt like a heatwave

Sometime in the 80's? was working up in the Northeast where it was no higher than -15° f for a whole month, mid/upper -20°'s at night, to cold to snow. The ha'bar almost froze over, was working on plow trucks, only did things like change a battery/starter outside and had to use a salamander to heat the engine to start so we could get it into the garage. Nothing new as in my first ferry ride to Martha's Vineyard in the 70's a native Cape Cod'r was telling me how as a kid when the sound froze over they would walk from Hyannis to Oaks Bluff, Yankee Tall Tale? mab'be... oops forgot to add (whole point of post) that when it warmed up to 32°f were outside working in t-shirts!

I always say a spring 40 is much warmer than 40 in the fall.

I love the grey cloud cover nights you have when it's winter, peaceful with a hint of snowfall on the way.

A yes the cold peaceful nights with a good amount of snow on the ground... remember that well on my final days up in Massachusetts in 1989. Leave the window open at night and at 3am you can hear the trucks coming out of the toll booths on the Turnpike miles away. Then one night we were hearing heavy jets going overhead like every 20/30 minutes, wtf? Turns out it was all the jets coming out of Westover AFB for the build up of Gulf War 1.

I love the snow but hate the single digits. I am not kidding when I say my furnace at the shop turned off for probably less than an hour for the last 2+ weeks before yesterday with the stat set at 60.

I use to religiously watch the 1 hour long farm weather report on PBS every weekday morning, till what, when it was axed by who Bill Clinton?

Yea our local clueless talk radio host mentioned it on his program the other day, gave it about 30 seconds, then went back to his usual brain dead babble. I should of tuned into Boston's Howie Carr talk show a day after the storm hit up there, bect'cha he ran with it! (reminder to check his podcasts)

I love single digits, yesterday it was -5 but later today it will be -20, then it's supposed to get cold tomorrow.

That's creative advertising.

I agree.

I can go with that... the ride home was a chilly 79* according to the temp display in my rearview... (Very high tech, it also can be a compass...)
