Rare POA1 Posted March 10, 2018 #101 Share Posted March 10, 2018 What's a weather bomb?It's a made up term courtesy of the Weather Channel. Just liked named winter storms. Can't just call it the "blizzard of March 2018.". Doesn't have the same ratings impact. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Happily@Sea Posted March 10, 2018 #102 Share Posted March 10, 2018 I guess I won't wait for Independence, she doesn't look like she's ready to leave. See all you addicts tomorrow. Wait - was that a departure toot? Still not moving - I'm gone. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

True blizzards, but, fortunately, we had some advance warnings. Plenty of ready to eat food, water, flashlight batteries, and Canadian Club in stock. And, I knew where I stored extra blankets. It was a weather event beautiful to observe from the inside. Glad I had no need to venture outside. (More Kudos for the medical personnel, fire, and police people that did! And, let's not forget the road and electrical company crews as well.) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare POA1 Posted March 10, 2018 #105 Share Posted March 10, 2018 Thanks BrianThere is such a thing as "explosive cyclogenenisis" which refers to rapidly intensifying storms that occur over the ocean, but the recent use of the new terms is mostly a ratings grabber. Most of the storms are just good old nor'easters. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare Vict0riann Posted March 10, 2018 #106 Share Posted March 10, 2018 I'm having a strange afternoon - I have intermittent sound, but I haven't heard a single toot!:eek::') I keep turning things on and off, but maybe things will be better tomorrow. I'd like to wait and see Maury coming in though. Maybe after Independence.:) Jacqui, hope all goes well with the weather bomb! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think I heard the Harbormaster tell the ship it would be 1730 when the Pilot would arrive. Maybe transferring a Pilot from a cruise ship to her?

There are 'Nor Easters and blizzards and sure, we are used to them. This is a mix of stong winds ( up to hurricane force) and a 'Nor Easter. I guess I wasn't clear in my last post. Sorry if my explanation before wasn't clear enough, but you are down south and get to watch it on TV. We get to live through it. Belittle our 'Nor Easters and serious storms all you want. A weather bomb may have been created by weather forecasters but it is the best explanation. Did you see the devastation on your own Eastern Seaboard? How about we trade spots? I'll take your condo and you can come up here and deal with it? Of course, no flights will be going so it won't work ;) I'm having a strange afternoon - I have intermittent sound, but I haven't heard a single toot!:eek::') I keep turning things on and off, but maybe things will be better tomorrow. I'd like to wait and see Maury coming in though. Maybe after Independence.:) Jacqui, hope all goes well with the weather bomb! Thanks Ann, I'm hoping we miss it somehow. We've had enough ice, snow and wind to sink a battleship in the last two weeks. But, I'm on a countdown for my cruise ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
