Yeah… you can tell the media hype is more about where the storm is heading than anything. It’s cold AF here (Midwest) but it happens.

The entire Midwest, Great Plains, and all of the states between have been warned “two thirds of the U.S. will be hit by a massive storm!” by various media, and so far it hasn’t come close to being true. They were literally even warning the Great Plains last week.

It started in Texas. It’s exceedingly rare for a winter storm to go straight north.

I’ve been watching the weather maps. For days now the maps have projected that it will mainly affect the southeast. Current projections barely have it getting to New York City, let alone the rest of the state. The storm skirts every northern state until it gets to New Jersey.

“Two hundred million people will be affected!” How are they counting this?
