LTS Posted January 4, 2018 Report Share Posted January 4, 2018 I love this place! You pulled from a gem my friend. I had to Google "cyclone bomb" after my boss, unbeknownst to me, had received his talking points an hour earlier from faux news. The first 5 results were fox news. The bomb cyclone is a legitimate term according to NPR. It has to do with the pressure in a storm system dropping 24 millibars or more in a day. The article I read at one point said they expect it to be about 50 millibars. I like this article on it. https://www.popsci.com/bomb-cyclone#page-7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sabres Fan in NS Posted January 4, 2018 Report Share Posted January 4, 2018 If this wind keeps up and it's getting stronger, I'm afraid ... really afraid ... that we will wake up in Kansas. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ice, snow, power lines only reasons ken-ton ever closed for me I think they did that once at RIT when I was there- windchills were like -30+ or something, they cancelled evening classes. Of course most of us didn't know and went anyway. My class that night was half full, professor was like, well, you're here, let's just hang out if you want. And it was a fun class, so we went to Java's and had a good time. We all joked RIT was getting soft about the weather. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MattPie Posted January 4, 2018 Report Share Posted January 4, 2018 I stayed home from work today. Not much snow, but my 30+ mile commute was almost entirely red for traffic, I have to assume from the 20+ MPH winds blowing snow around.

I sat on Wherle f*ckin' Drive for over a goddamned hour trying to get downtown. Definitely the winds +everyone getting out early + mucky snow. My 35 minute commute took 2.5 hours. But of course, seeing the pileup minutes from my apartment, decided to just count my blessings and enjoy all the podcasts loaded up on my phone.

MattPie Posted January 4, 2018 Report Share Posted January 4, 2018 Bomb is apparently an actual meteorological term in use for nearly 40 years. This time around Big Weather's hype-machine got a hold of it like it's a shiny new toy. https://www.popsci.com/bomb-cyclone#page-6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Drunkard Posted January 4, 2018 Report Share Posted January 4, 2018 We got 4-6 inches yesterday evening through early this morning and half of the town is shut down. The best part is I already got an alert that the base will be closed tomorrow for all but essential services. 21 total hours of paid administrative leave (5 hours Wednesday, all day Thursday and Friday). I love it when it snows down south. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wyldnwoody44 Posted January 5, 2018 Report Share Posted January 5, 2018 So I'm currently in hour 16 of layover/delay, they have closed the airport and no flights all night until 7am at the earliest, then the connecting flight will not transfer in time so that's another 16+ hours at Doha, I may rent a subaru (hopefully) and drive back to Buffalo and scratch this whole damn thing..... Soooooo annoyed Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gilbert11 Posted January 5, 2018 Report Share Posted January 5, 2018 All the weak people moved to warmer climes.When I graduated from college, there weren't many jobs in the Buffalo area. When I got an offer for a position in California that was for about 25% more than what my classmates got that were able to get an offer in WNY, it took about 2 secs to decide. A high paying job in California vs No job in Buffalo with winter I didn't like. I think I made the SMART decision. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
