United States
"Bomb Cyclone"
For the past 10 days the eastern third of the United States has been pummeled by Arctic conditions and it is only been the tip of the iceberg. This week the region is facing a "bomb cyclone"  which is set to dump snow, ice and hurricane-force winds. The approaching storm is projected to undergo rapid strengthening, referred to as "bombogenesis" and will affect areas from Florida to Maine and Atlantic Canada.  Forecasters are expecting that the most extreme conditions will remain well out over the ocean.
