United States weather: the simulation of an ice storm by the weather channel is both disturbing and surprising

The weather channel is making a name for itself with its immersive representations of extreme weather conditions.

Last year, they became viral successes thanks to their "terrifying" example of what Hurricane Florence might have looked like in the worst of times.

In October, they then examined in a troubling way the forest fires in the United States, which focused on the apocalypse.

Their latest effort is on the winter storm that is expected to hit the Midwest and Northeastern United States this weekend.

In the clip, meteorologist Jim Cantore, who is no stranger to dangerous weather conditions, begins in the heavens to show the strength of the winds before literally descending to Earth where he settles in a small town.

He shows viewers how severe the ice will be, causing havoc, dropping branches of trees and causing the buses to crash. He must also avoid a huge ice cube falling from a cell tower.

Although it is very scary and it is a very expensive way to tell people not to go out, viewers are always impressed by the lengths that the Channel Channel is willing to tell people.
