and then always mention a "cloud of warm air".
Which is it, a snow storm or warm air? The articles never mentions what kind of snow either. Never, so it is assumed the snow is made from ice crystals of water. If it is snowing something else, why don't they say so? Also when this basic article first appeared, it was just "snow", No storm. It was just snowing. Now it has been upgraded to a "driving snow storm". But it always mentions a cloud of warm air when it was snowing. How can it snow, if the air is warm? If the air warmed up, it would stop snowing and start raining. No mention of rain was ever mentioned, ever.

Paranoia and hysteria will defeat reality every time. Why am I skeptical? The basic story does not make sense.
