The “Bomb Cyclone,” also being called “Winter Storm Grayson,” exploded over the northeastern United States on Dec. 4, powered by the combined forces of low barometric pressure, frigid air, screaming winds, and the highest tides of the year, influenced by last week’s “Supermoon.”
This hyper-powered quartet of natural forces combined to create over a foot of snow, single-digit temperatures, and rivers of semi-frozen slush, sometimes several feet deep on the streets of Boston and some Massachusetts seaside communities.
