Lake Effect Snow. I grew up in the Midwest in the 60's. These term wasn't used until decades later.

Also, Derecho for a high straight wind.....totally new.

How about the lexicon for cloud types? They added a couple of new terms to explain the cloud lines and tire tracks.

When you can't get a title to stick like Global Warming, just call it climate change because THAT has never happened before. These idiots think we are as dumb as they clearly are. So glad Jesus is my Savior and I have nothing to fear for He is with me always. Just watching the show.

haven't had a chance to watch this yet, Dr. Mercola shared this on his Substack: Wigington’s documentary “The Dimming"

Hi Peggy,

I would like to recommend a website to you - it's Clifford Carnicom's research site, https://carnicominstitute.org/. He's been researching 'chem trails' / aerosol spraying / persistent contrails since the late 1990's. He has amassed a gigantic pile of data. Thank you for your article -- yes, language is one of the ways they manipulate consciousness. They're definitely succeeding in demonizing Mother Nature.

Hi Peggy. Heres a couple new weather terms for you. Snowmageddon and snowpocalypse in Southern Idaho. I enjoy your satirical sense of humor.

My dad flew for over 30 yrs, between the Navy and TWA, through all kinds of weather, over both the Atlantic and Pacific, across Europe, Asia, Africa, and Australia, besides the US, and never once encountered any of those! Monsoons, typhoons, cyclones, hurricanes, blizzards, tornadoes, yep, all of those... But none of these newfangled scare weathers! Maybe it's because he just didn't have the technology to notice them... I know the old Gooney Birds (variously known also as DC-3s, C-47s, or R4Ds), and Connies were pretty low tech, I've ridden in them too, and been in their cockpits, but they managed to get from point A to point B pretty regularly, none the less, through the weather presented, most of the time.

Reports I got from people in the supposedly worst hit areas of SoCal, during the storm didn't sound any worse that a "regular" desert rain after a long dry spell (I lived in AZ for 4 decades, so got acquainted with such storms' effects). Sounded like the summer of '93, a bit, but not as bad. To be honest, I'm pretty sick of all the made up terms and panic mongering, even the hyperbole on headlines of news stories, which turn out to be no big thing. It's childish.

I just learned a new word: ARkstorm. It's defined as an Atmospheric River that overwhelms all the flood-control provisions. Geologist Lucy Jones, the Caltech professor of earthquake fame, says it occurs in southern California about once every 200 years.

I believe they are trying to control the weather and they are creating all this rain. I’m in New York. All last year It rained here. Hardly any sunshine. This winter we had more rain than snow. They are only comparing the weather from maybe 20 years ago and claiming all this on climate change( I call it climate control). If they compared the weather from back when they originally started keeping the data, you would see that there isn’t that much change in the weather.

We moved to Monterey last year and when I heard the term “atmospheric river” for the heavy rains, I called BS! Almost laughable… absolutely, it is meant to terrify sheeple - hopefully it’s working less and less!

If they didn't have those over the Pacific islands in WW II, they sure don't have them in CA now. Mom took pictures on New Guinea; looked just like the Mumbai monsoon Dad filmed during a lay over a few yrs later: think the backside of Niagara Falls.

Yes I have noticed the “new” dramatic and ridiculous weather words. Someone needs to sit down these ridiculous people down and explain the earth is a living planet. It is not dormant doing the same thing year after year. We are part of a repeating 300 year cycle and the weather changes are normal except when they seed the clouds to create false weather.

Peggy -great to see this article!

I’ve been saying this for a 3-4 years now since I first heard the “new” terms here in SF Bay Area. Water district Co-workers would parrot the terms they heard to sound educated and enlightened. I called this out right away and said -oh - you mean “heavy rain, or light rain?

Or consistent heavy rainfall with hail?” That we’ve always had !

Ridiculousness.

How about “The lallapalooza of precipitation”

Or Storm-mageddon ! HA!

Lallapalooza + rain? Sounds good to me!

The DS isn't happy unless everyone is terrified every hour of every freakin' day. BUT it also could also be the White Hats so they can do their manuvers without citizens getting hurt or more scared. Bad weather makes people stay home. I know a lot is going on behind the scenes. A LOT!
