When roads are closed, pavements blanketed in snow and guests can't show, what's better to do on Christmas Eve than?

There was virtually no snow on this street the day before the bomb cyclone (bombogensis) hit the east coast of the United States on Jan. 3, 2018.

Extreme Storm Front Along the Rocky Mountain Front Range, Colorado, December Afternoon.
It was -16F/-8.89C on the next morning!
Braving a bomb cyclone to capture this shot might not have been my smartest idea, but it was certainly one of the most memorable. Battling intense hail, relentless winds, and bone-chilling cold, I stood there thinking, “This better be worth it.” Nature threw everything it had at me, but then, at just the right moment, the light broke through, turning the chaos into something truly magical. It took countless attempts and frozen fingers to get this shot, but sometimes, the wildest challenges make for the most rewarding results.
Full disclosure...I didn't go outside today to take these photos. They were taken out the window during what they called a "bomb cyclone" over New England. But what scares me more than a bomb cyclone is shoveling it tomorrow...no I mean what scares me is the below zero temperatures coming up through the weekend.
Here's NASA's photo taken today:
The pair of house finches endured the blizzard together. They were perched above our front door near Denver and the Rocky Mountain Front Range in Colorado.
This male finch was enduring extreme conditions, as were many living creatures along the Rocky Mountain Front Range, Denver, Colorado
Low Pressure = High Wind "These current barometric conditions are equivalent to a Category 2 Hurricane." - Denver area

Winter Storm Ulmer became an official blizzard. It also qualified as a "bomb cyclone" (defined as a significant drop in barometric pressure, or greater than 24 mb in 24 hours). The drop in pressure on 13 March 2019 was recording-breaking in the history of Colorado.
My personal barometer was calibrated to go as low as 28.95 mm Hg. At the time of the start of the blizzard it was 29.02 mm Hg. The reading was also the same then at Buckley AFB, CO, Rocky Mountain Front Range, Colorado
Visibility was cited as 0% for several hours. I agree!
A eastbound BNSF Q train is approaching Boone, Colorado as a bomb cyclone intensifies bringing extreme weather to Colorado and much of the country. The train is very near the center of low pressure in this photo. 2 minutes before it's arrival, there was sunlight here and blue skies could be seen overhead. The low pressure set records for this part of Colorado. The barometer bottomed out at 974.2 millibars at the Pueblo airport. To put that in perspective, that's a reading that one would find with a category 1-2 hurricane.
The rest of the day would see very strong winds and horizontal rain in this part of the state and blizzard conditions north of Pueblo.
Taken from the MV Viking Sky en route to Stavanger. We never reached this port: 5 hours after I took this photo, the ship sailed into the teeth of a violent storm in the notorious Hustadvika. All engines stopped when the ship plunged into a deep trough: it then started drifting towards submerged rocks.....

Five years after the event, the final report has been issued:
Result of the “bomb cyclone”. At least there’s not some hard layer of ice just under the snow like I was fearing. I had the stamina (back-wise) to attack one side today, and will finish up tomorrow. It’s 0.13 miles from the house to the road…
This old warehouse had its front doors blown off as well as having holes ripped into each of its sidewalls.
. . . This was my view of the Bomb Cyclone hitting the Northshore of Grand Haven Sunday morning, right before the blizzard conditions hit! An hour later you could not see the waves exploding on the ice shelf due to the blowing snow!
You can barely make out the Grand Haven pier on the far left between the snow fence and the tree.

A foot of snow, sub-zero temperatures, wind-chill, frost on the window - welcome to winter in New England.
The severe storm, called a "bomb cyclone" is breaking numerous records throughout most of the United States and most of Canada. As I post this view of our back door, the wind is howling, the blizzard is blowing, and the temperature is sinking. A significant portion of Kingston is currently without power. Fortunately, our part of the city has normal power and we are comfortable as the storm howls outside our window.
A damaged home rendered unlivable by storm damage. Two trees hit the home, severely damaging the roof and the structural integrity of the home. Nobody got injured.

So much for the Bomb Cyclone out here. We were lucky
I'm still looking for that pot of gold! but if you feel lucky, i marked the spot where the rainbow ended.
I didn’t make it very far walking in the #bombcyclone today, but here’s a cute gate right near me in Somerville that I had never noticed before. It looks like they’ve given up plowing the streets near me, or the snow is falling fast enough to overpower the ploughs - I wouldn’t want to be driving today. Be safe out there. Shot with iPhone X.
. . . I figured it's still fair game to post winter pictures of Point Betsie! This one was from my last visit there, after the Polar Vortex, and just before the Bomb Cyclone!
Have a great weekend Facebook, Flickr, and 500px friends!
Amazing view from space shows the #BombCyclone as this powerful winter nor'easter was moving toward New England on Jan. 4, 2018.
NOAA's GOES-East satellite provides infrared and visible data of the eastern half of the U.S. In a visible image taken Jan. 4, 2018 at 1842 UTC (1:42 p.m. EST) from NOAA’s GOES-16 satellite, known as GOES East showed the center of the low pressure area off the coast of the northeastern U.S. and a thick band of clouds bringing snow and gusty winds from the Mid-Atlantic states to New England.
The National Weather Service (NWS) Weather Prediction Center noted "a strengthening Nor'easter will bring snow and gusty winds, with blizzard conditions along the coast and blowing snow elsewhere, along the Middle Atlantic and Northeast through Thursday. Minor to major coastal flooding and erosion will be possible, especially during high tides. Dangerous travel, scattered power outages, and bitter wind chill can be expected across the entire east coast."

Scenes from the Blizzard of January 2022:
For Cape Cod, it rained almost all night long. Then, just before dawn, it began to snow. For the first part of the day we got heavy wet snow that stuck to everything. By nightfall, as the temperatures dropped and the wind picked up, the snow had become light and fluffy. I watched the pressure drop over 30 mb over a 24 hour period, and with that, the intense wind delivered our predicted power outages. We lost power on Saturday night around 6 pm and got it back on Sunday night around 11pm. In our neighborhood, the storm snow total was about 16 inches.
