‘Bomb Cyclone’ — Heavy Snow Jeopardizes Thanksgiving Travel Across U.S.

Do what you need to do, people! Don’t let the bastards get you down!

MINNEAPOLIS (AP) — A storm packing heavy snow and high winds that wreaked havoc as it whipped through Colorado, Wyoming and Nebraska marched into the upper Midwest on Wednesday as anxious Thanksgiving travelers buckled up and barreled headlong into a busy, if not perilous, holiday week.

The wintry storm that left at least one person dead was expected to push eastward into South Dakota, Iowa, Michigan, Minnesota and Wisconsin, while a “bomb cyclone” weather phenomenon was expected to simultaneously topple trees, knock out power and dump snow as it rolled into California and Oregon.

The one-two punch made for a double whammy of early wintry weather that threatened to scramble plans for millions of people nationwide during one of the busiest travel weeks of the year. more here

  1. The Lord has a great sense of humor. Since the vast majority have forgotten the purpose of Thanksgiving, maybe they’ll bea bit more thankful for Thanksgivings in the years past. Nah……never mind.

    You beat me to it. I’m sick and tired of these bullshit, made-up media terms for naturally occurring weather events. It’s just a frikin’ winter storm you maroons!!!

  3. If I had relatives living beyond an hour’s drive that I needed to see on Thanksgiving, I would propose having Thanksgiving the week before or the week after. No way am I traveling around that day. If they can’t accommodate, they will suffer my absence.

  4. Meanwhile, the plows plow, the shovelers shovel and life goes on. The pearl clutching, weather paranoid buffoons, piss their pants every time a storm approaches. Oh the humanity!
