Maximum deepening rate over 24-hours is forecast to be 45 millibars -- which puts the storm in the upper echelon of "bomb cyclones" -- simply a more extreme variety of "cold season" storm that usually harmless mix fish, generate huge waves, and do their job of moving Earth's heat

Global Density of locations of "bomb cyclones": Form along East coast of North America and Asia where "jet stream" entrance -- an area very favorable for ascending air. Warm Sea-surface temperatures are also quite warm b/c of the coastal ocean currents = additional energy.

Experimental IBM Deep thunder peaks intensity at 940mb midday tomorrow. Interesting to see if we get this deep- model consensus is in the 950-960 range.

We should move the focus from the snow to the more serious threat of power outages and coastal flooding. It will be the headlines during and after storm. Let's get ahead of it. #Boston #weather #winterstorm

A once in a lifetime kind of explosive storm. Latest stats from @weatheroptics “The "bomb cyclone's" low pressure is now down to 951mb, a remarkable drop of 59 millibars in 24 hours”
