"Megalopolis?"
I was checking today's flight operations to see if my CO 15 would be delayed, and I saw this little paragraph:

Northeast - Barry's remnant moisture will bring heavy rains to the Megalopolis over the next two days. Rain and thunderstorms will linger over the region through Tuesday, with Wednesday and Thursday staying mainly dry across the region, with more rain moving in on Friday.
(Emphasis mine).

What is the "Megalopolis?" Is it the NYC area? Since when do we call it that? Why wasn't I informed?

Is that how CO refers to the region now?
