Description

A large nor'easter off the coast of the Eastern United States rapidly strengthened into a bomb cyclone equivalent to a category 2 hurricane last night and early morning February 23rd, bring huge wind gust and powerful whiteout blizzard conditions to tens of millions. Simultaneously with this a type of space weather impact well-correlated with intensifying extratropical cyclones has just hit, meaning this blizzard might be a bit more than most weather forecasters are expecting...

I have only ever seen thunder snow once in my 47 years on the planet, thats a big deal!! I love that this channel doesn't just say "global warming" as a knee jerk reaction, Mr Burns is the best guy for world/space information, I love this channel!!

Hey everyone! We cover the most pertinent information as it relates to this blizzard hitting the NE USA so you won't be out of the loop, and then we discuss how space weather impacts powerful terrestrial weather systems like this one, and how we can use space weather to perform long-range weather forecasting for the months ahead. So rather than simply running through snow-fall totals for your area if you live there, i'm better preparing you to understand the weather you are likely to experience going forwards for the new few months and even years as energetic volatility across Earth continues to increase. Be safe, have fun, and see you all again soon - Stefan

Can't describe how excellent and important it is to get the geophysics updates along with the effect on weather, to fit it all together! Superb as always!

I'm in Rhode Island, we're getting spanked by this storm. Just opening your door is difficult, windows are covered cars are almost completely buried in drifts.
