I guess it was nice knowing everybody.
If you’ve been following the local news – and I’m sure you have – you’re probably aware that at some point today, a deadly Iceman Cometh snowpocalypse super-weather catastrophe is expected to make its way into the Sooner State, shutting down services, power, and food transport, and triggering an apocalyptic calamity that will freeze us all.
Well, at least that’s what it feels like on social media.
Over the past week, I’d estimate — with a high degree of confidence — that the Oklahoma City weather media machine has dropped roughly 25,000 videos, posts, and updates across every platform hyping up this historic winter storm.
I can’t really blame them — I’ve been watching the same clips and now have a fridge full of food I probably won’t eat — but from colorful maps showing outlandish snow projections, to short-form videos of TV meteorologists making second-wave guesses, to jokey memes about Braum’s runs and milk shortages, it’s been impossible to scroll through posts, reels, or AI slop without feeling like this red-state hellscape is literally about to freeze over.
And who knows… maybe it will.
