This "cyclone bomb" is terrifying https://www.ventusky.com/?p=49.1;-27.3;3&l=pressure&t=201702...

Is it even possible?



I would guess it's a standard propagating structure. For other readers: winds at 80km/h rotating with a diameter of ~2000km. Pressure drops at 935hpa in the center

edit: at 10m above the ground. at higher altitudes, it's quite faster and with a different shape


It's not just possible its very normal. It's called the Icelandic Low.
