for more, my colleague katty kay spoke to a former nasa scientist who is at the university of georgia for her program "beyond 100 days." she started by asking him to explain what a bomb cyclone actually is. >> it is really just a storm that intensifies really rapidly, it drops in pressure 24 millibars or so in one day. a millibar is how meteorologists measure pressure. when you hear the term "bomb," think of a rapidly intensifying storm. it is something in our field for a long time, but it is quite new to the media and public. katty: does that explain why it is so cold in washington? >> well, it is cold in washington, a couple of reasons. the simple answer is it is winter and we expect it to be cold. but we have an arctic air mass entrenched in the eastern part of the united states for several weeks now. because of the differences in air mass between the arctic air mass and the warmer air, we see this rapid development of the storm, the so-called bomb cyclone we are hearing about in the media. it is a combination of a unique weather event, winter, and an arctic air mass. katty: it is

katty kay is in davos for us now.cials for the last couple of days in laying the groundwork for president trump's speech on friday, and i spoke to a couple of them earlier, saying that they want to reassure allies that america first doesn't mean america alone, but they are staying in the same breath, we are going to protect american consumers and american voters. what's interesting in davos is that i think the president is going to get a warmer reception from this global elite, this populist, nationalist president, then one might have expected, simply because the global economy is doing so well. to some extent, president trump is coming to take a victory lap. he's going to say, it's my tax cuts and deregulatory policies boosting american growth, and that's having an uptick in on global growth, and i've spoken to a senior american senator, who said that all of the great economic news is helping on national security issues as well. if you polled these leaders, they would probably say that they don't like his tone, his t
