Along with the possibility of measurable snow, a certain segment of the population takes exquisite joy in trying to panic non-snow lovers with exaggerated claims of how much snow is coming. This has been going on for as long as anyone can remember.
A recently new phenomenon, thanks to the internet, is the rise of Internet Weather experts who publish their questionable forecasts on Facebook and or blogs. Many of these are from out-of-state, many may also be off-shore. Most, if not all, are not trained meteorologists but only possess the skill to cut and paste weather graphics designed to alarm and panic. Accuracy is not their strong suit, causing panic and creating internet clicks is.
While the Maven may sometimes ridicule or poke them, the Maven contends that our local TV weather people remain the best, most credible and accurate sources for local weather.
The threat of severe weather is serious business. If you want to forward weather information to friends and family, use a reliable source, not Fred's Eyeball Weather and Discount CBD Oil Emporium.
Of course, if you want to make things up to panic your friends, then get off your lazy ass and do it yourself. Make your own pretty maps and not just forward fake weather pages made up by unemployed losers living in their parent's basement and surfing free porn in their off-hours.
