Bomb cyclone: This is how climate change is fueling the massive winter storm about to slam East Coast The nor'easter about to tear up the U.S. East Coast with near-hurricane-force winds and fast-falling snow is almost certain to intensify so rapidly that it will meet the definition of a bomb cyclone as it roars north. We explain the science — and how global warming is involved.

Other chances to mention global climate change came in stories about heat waves, floods, and coastal storms, especially when the events were more damaging than anything in recent memory. Citizens who attended more closely would see stories about shifts in the range of species, from birds and butterflies to insects pests and diseases. The concerns were largely parochial. Media in the United States would scarcely notice a record-breaking heat wave or flood that stirred up fears of global warming in Europe, and vice versa.

1978: New England Blizzard of 1978

The New England Blizzard of 1978 impacted Massachusetts, New York, and Rhode Island. However, it was Boston that reeled most from the massive blizzard, accumulating more than 27 inches of snow in less than 48 hours. The snowfall set an all-time record for the metropolitan area.

1956: New England storms

The winter of 1956 was a significant season for snowfall in New England, which saw three major storms in a 10-day period in March. The blizzards brought snow cover at the Blue Hill Weather Observatory outside Boston to a level of nearly 50 inches.
