No. 0224 | Post-blizzard Rock Wall (plus: Snow on the Roof)

For #RockinTuesday: the rock wall in my backyard in NJ after the Northeast's 20+" bomb cyclone blizzard (plus some snow on the roof of my birdhouse!)

Well, I have to admit that storm was not a bust. What a blizzard! Some of the toughest digging out we've had, too. #bombogenesis

How Bombogenesis Creates a Massive Bomb Cyclone Discover the science of bombogenesis and how a rapid 24-millibar pressure drop transforms a standard low pressure system.

Bombogenesis occurs when the central pressure of a storm drops rapidly, fueling intense winds. It is a critical benchmark for maritime safety and winter preparedness. #OngoingNow #Bombogenesis #Meteorology #Science #Atmosphere

Surviving another #BomboGenesis on the East Coast?

Northeasterners: Can we do a headcount? I'm 100m+ inland in western Mass. Picked up 4-5 over night. Expect another 7-10. Snow is more like sleet than flake. In fact, it looks like fog. Trees are iced. Wind is high. In 20s. Won't be going outside today. Otherwise, fine.#storm #bombogenesis #ice #NE

Four windows almost entirely obscured by snow

I would tell you how much snow we got overnight but between the winds drifting it and the bit where all my windows look like this... Who even knows? I've never seen snow blow this direction. It's scoured where it normally drifts. #bombogenesis #boston

*ALMOST* A BOMB CYLONE ALREADY...As of 7AM this morning, we had a 1008mb low developing off the Carolina coast. 7PM analysis shows a 992mb low. We will likely reach bomb status in the coming couple of hours. #bombogenesis #noreaster #newengland

The milk has been acquired, laundry is done & the devices are all charging. It has started snowing so now we just wait to see what happens. #BeforeShot #Blizzard #Snowstorm #Bombogenesis

I think what people outside the Hub of the Universe might be missing about this storm is that this is the before picture here in Boston. We have nowhere to put more. #bombogenesis #bostom

For my New York friends and relatives, from the mayor, below.

From the little MN girl that I still am-get out there when it’s safe and sled and skate and build all the snow forts and snowmen you can. Do all the snow angels. Check on your neighbors. Shovel someone’s walk. Have fun!

A #bombogenesis winter nor'easter storm is due to bring blizzard conditions to the US east coast from New Jersey to New Hampshire with 54 million under a winter storm or blizzard warning. We take a look at some of the model forecasts in today's video #YouStormOutlook #noreaster youtu.be/3VNk8Sb9ESQ

Blizzards, bomb cyclones, nor’easters. So many weather terms, but what are they really? - The Boston Globe They whip storms into winter behemoths, so what are blizzards and bomb cyclones, weather phenomena?

#Bombogenesis is not new, but our changing climate does make it more likely in a warmer world. We are likely to not only see more of these types of storms but also stronger ones as well. #blizzard #ClimateChange www.bostonglobe.com/2026/02/21/m...

Snow still to come #Hernando #Bombogenesis #Blizzard

Blizzard warning for most of southern New England.

Consider forecasts from newer, independent outlets.
They still have tools.

Some mentioned this possibility #bombogenesis earlier than most.

36 hours ago, this storm was forecast to miss the #HusdonValley. Now, the NWS estimate calls for 11+ inches in #KingstonNY and local forecasters #HudsonValleyWeather are calling for 12-18".

I took this from my kitchen window in Astoria in January 2016 during the last NYC blizzard

Blizzards are cool, cause the wind makes amazing sculptures with the snow #Bombogenesis

I love the term #bombogenesis - coined in a white paper in 1980 - it’s where the term bomb cyclone came from. It sounds scary, but really it means “rapidly intensifying storm”. The reason it matters is, the faster a storm deepens (pressure drops) the stronger the wind gusts… 1/

good morning, loves, I shouldn’t have looked at the weather forecast for the next week

#milf #bombogenesis #snowday

Dangerous cold in NYC but minimal snow as 'bombogenesis' approaches The chilly snap continues — and is getting worse — after at least 10 people were found dead outside in the cold over the last few days.

“ #Bombogenesis": yet another new word in #climateemergency #terminology

So it's going to blow up? Nah. But a bomb cyclone is something to pay attention to when one happens! Here's what it really means! #BombCyclone #Bombogenesis #Blizzard #WinterStorm

Bomb Cyclone vs Hurricane: What’s the Difference? A bomb cyclone is a rapidly intensifying extratropical low-pressure system, while a hurricane is a tropical cyclone that forms over warm tropical oceans. They differ in how they form, where they form, and what powers them, so wind speed alone does not make a storm a hurricane. The recent Pacific Northwest storm was a bomb cyclone because it deepened quickly along strong temperature fronts in the midlatitudes, not a warm-core tropical system.

They sound equally fierce, but they’re born from different beasts. See how a bomb cyclone rapidly deepens vs a warm-core hurricane—and why it matters for forecasts. Which one surprises you more? #bombcyclone #bombogenesis #extratropicalcyclone #hurricane #tropicalcyclone

#StormEowyn will go through a hurricane-like #Bombogenesis with a pressure drop of about 60 hPa in 36 hours! This is a very serious situation especially for Ireland! Live coverage from my dear friend @larswx.bsky.social!

Bombogenesis / Weather bomb / Bomb Cyclone Did you know about 'Bombogenesis / Weather bomb / Bomb Cyclone'?

#DidYouKnow: #Bombogenesis (or #Weather #Bomb) is a popular term that describes a midlatitude #Cyclone that rapidly intensifies.

Bombogenesis can happen when a cold air mass collides with a warm air mass, such as air over warm ocean waters.

That's what I was thinking, they were akin to the sun showers in the summer, brief localized downbursts with sun still shining. They need better PR people to get a better name though so they can show up on the #WeatherBingo board. I mean #Graupel #Haboob #Bombogenesis, those are cool bingo names 😜

Mr. Loki and I did what "Enemies From Within" do, and took advantage of the #bombogenesis and the #bombcyclone to destroy America!

We let in waves upon waves upon waves of crazy migrant water onto the Motherland!

It was a bit windy with waves bigger than usual. This is the view from my mancave to the ocean
