Anyone else find this media/meteorologist buzzword annoying? Don't you mean cold front?

It's like that word synergy used to replace teamwork or cohesion.

If you look up "synergy" in most dictionaries, there's a note that says it is often dismissed as business jargon. That makes me chuckle.

The meteorologist-turned-talk-radio-host down here said "We used to have a word for weather like this back in my day, we called it "winter"." and I couldn't agree more.

This is just like when the tornado in upstate new york was called a 'wind shear event'.

I like how the winter storms have names now. I am being sarcastic.

I also like how accurate the snow totals are. I am still being sarcastic.

Every time I see synergy I just think of the synergic management solutions card in Cards Against Humanity which if you haven't played and you are a horrible person like me you should.

Latest headline is that even polar bears cannot withstand the polar vortex.

It's a two dollar term for a 10 cent event.

it's only the Comcast empire that is naming winter storms... so NBC, Weather Channel, etc. actually, i think they own the Syfy channel- the people that canceled Stargate and BSG to make room in the lineup for movies about tornadoes made of sharks- so it kind of all makes sense...

It got up to 24° here today, Saturday it will be 70°. So, does that mean we are on the back side of the Vortex now?

Conspiracy? My Comcast Xfinity HDTV last night of the National Championship game. At least I got to watch the last 5 minutes of the game. It wouldn't have been so bad if I wasn't in the middle of a BF4 game on PC of my last night without the wife (coming home from her vaca). Or it was just such high def my brain or phone couldn't process the awesomeness.
