We haven't seen a blizzard like this since the 90's
Overview
A weather forecast map from the National Weather Service's Binghamton, NY office, displaying a 'Percent Chance of 0.01" Ice or More' for the period January 25-28, 2026. The map uses a blue-to-purple gradient to indicate ice probability across New York state, with regions like Rochester, Syracuse, and Albany highlighted. Overlaid in large, bold white text is the caption: 'We haven't seen a blizzard like this since the 90's,' creating a humorous exaggeration by equating a minor ice event (0.01" threshold) to a historic blizzard.
Origin notes
This meme originates from the Reddit Meme community. It is a user-created remix that combines an official weather forecast map from the National Weather Service (Binghamton office) with an added humorous text overlay. The original weather data is repurposed to exaggerate the severity of the forecasted ice event, referencing 1990s nostalgia for comedic effect.
![A humorous meme featuring a colorful map of the contiguous United States (with Alaska and Hawaii insets) where each state is labeled. At the top of the image, a large white speech bubble contains the text: "If you don't like the weather in [Insert State], wait five minutes". Multiple thin white lines radiate downward from the speech bubble, visually connecting it to every individual state on the map. This design comically suggests that every U.S. state claims their weather is uniquely variable, with the shared joke applied universally across regions.](https://gagbase.com/i/c/memes/8a/96/67/42/8a9667428772d7e1133aafd33b234147.jpeg.webp)
