I saw a brand new word today...."bombogenesis" ..this word is in the following sentence:

[Stuart G]

5th paragraph, in the CNN story about the storm, at this ling:
https://www.cnn.com/2018/03/03/us/weather-bomb-cyclone/index.html


The storm morphed into a "bomb cyclone" after undergoing the so-called bombogenesis Friday, slamming much of the Northeast with heavy snow and rain. Significant coastal flooding and even hurricane-force winds hit New England.

Google defined it this way:..........

Bombogenesis is a popular term that describes a midlatitude cyclone that rapidly intensifies. Fourteen of 20 hurricane-force wind events underwent bombogenesis in the North Atlantic during the first two months of 2014.

2. A Ships' Captain I worked with

3. High winds and rain

Was the forecast for yesterday here in Philly burbs. And indeed it was raining til about 10 am. Then it turned to snow, and in 10 minutes (it seemed) we had 3 inches of snow in whiteout conditions. The region was caught flatfooted - schools were in session, everyone was at work. Early dismissal from school was a total nightmare as they have to do 3 separate bus runs (HS, MS, elementary) with the elementary schools last. Some little kids didn't get home til 8 pm. Multiple trees down, power outages, one school bus went into a ditch. DH sat behind a 16-car pileup and took 6 hours to get home.

4. Bombogenesis is a good band name that no one is using n/t

[MissMillie]

5. It is a great term

But I thought they used it for the January 2018 storm as well.

6. Perhaps they did..

But, for some reason I noticed this word yesterday. Sometimes storm stories are all the same. For some strange reason, I stopped and looked at that word. I don't know why, and I thought I would share this with the DU lounge. ?????
