The wording people use is pathetic. An American public that only gets excited when we bomb and kill others is to blame for this cheap ratings grab head line. Stupid bastards.

No, this is clearly a bomb aimed at us by Canada. You know Canada, right? The nice country, as one person said, with nice people that is like a nice upstairs apartment that's above a meth lab.

Canada is sending a bomb down to destroy our meth labs! Cringe in fear, weep in terror!

I'm hear to tell you, it's damned nipply here in Houston this morning. Good thing I turned on the heater before I went to bed last night, it started running around 2:30 this morning.

Lake effect snow started up here. 4 inches last night and coming down hard still. Further north, several places have over 2 feet of snow on the ground with one official report of 42.5 inches since Monday.

Oh well, another winter.

This thread has been a delightful start to my day. Thank you all!

As others have said, 'bomb' is indeed a meteorological term. I heard the weathermen use it years ago when I lived up in the northeast Ohio showbelt; and those guys were as non-hype as you could get - really excellent weather reporters who were actual meteorologists.

In our 24/7 news cycle, everything is hype. But as others have said, if you live up north, you take your winter weather seriously. The town I grew up in got 69 inches of snow during Nov 9-11, '96. I lived a couple towns away from ground zero and got about 50". It got warm again and the snow was all gone a couple weeks later. Kids loved it though

We're expected to see temperatures next week that rival the coldest of winter. Only... it's not winter. :ninja:

All hail the Arctic Bomb!
