Description: |
Winter storms in the North Atlantic can whip up winds as strong as a hurricane. Some even undergo bombogenesis, a process of rapid intensification that can lead to especially dangerous winds and precipitation. Although each event is short-lived, the influence of repeated hurricane-strength storms (winds at least 74 mph) throughout the winter can leave a clear mark on wind patterns in the North Atlantic.
