Damn straight they are. I know one whose father sold his BHE20 so she could get her Masters degree.

Poor baby. I'll trade you in a heatbeat.

its a shortened - and sensational version of a meteorological term

https://oceanservice.noaa.gov/facts/bombogenesis.html


but as many have said - the naming of snow storms is a marketing gambit from the weather channel -

if i was naming them - they'd all have four letters


seriously- in the north east - this stuff happens every year - the media spreads panic- people rush to stores and buy more milk and bread than they can use in a month-

the plow truck drivers get some overtime - and i use the 4WD to take my wife to her office -

wait for the melt

repeat as needed until March

Certainly am, Jim. The bigger markets (she’s in NOLA) are that much harder for girls to crack the glass ceiling. She might have made chief when she was up in Myrtle Beach, but they didn’t pay much. I have mixed emotions about her chucking it but she’s co-anchoring a big cable sports show. She hunts, fishes, free dives. If I could just get her to put that auto loader down and shoot a Parker.

Anybody remember the late 1970's in the northeast? They were so bad we were told it was the beginning of a new Ice Age. I wonder if Leonard Nimoy regretted participating in this TV show.
