Very rarely, when winter weather conditions get frighteningly aligned, cold, dry air traveling from the north and warm, moist air coming from the tropics crash like freight trains on a single track. Atmospheric pressure drops dramatically, and a winter storm blows up into a “once in a generation” monster. The scientific term for this phenomenon is bombogenesis.
Without the torrents of snow and wind, but with requisite force and suddenness, a bombogenesis struck American Family Field in Milwaukee on Thursday night. This time it was a once in a generation home run—by a polar bear, no less.
