Well...it is winter after all. It snows in winter...sometimes a lot of snow.
Then they go all panicky about how their viewers should take care of themselves and blah, blah, blah. It is not like the majority haven't been through winter before. It's cold and it snows during winter. Sometimes there's a major storm or two. Gee, don't get your undies in a wad Media people.
