10 Things People in the Crossroads Googled During the Freeze

With severe cold keeping just about everyone inside, the Crossroads turned to its other comfort zone: Google. Being cooped up for days will do that to you. Here are the top 10 things people across the Crossroads were searching for this weekend.

Knowing today’s forecast wasn’t enough. Everyone was ready for this wave of cold to be over, and they needed to know how much longer this last.

Once the word “warning” appears, we start to take notice. This search usually signals the shift from curiosity to full-on preparation mode.

Honestly, I searched this, mainly to figure out the difference between a “warning” and a “watch.” I’m sure everyone was checking this repeatedly, hoping it wouldn’t turn into something worse overnight.

The most basic search that never stopped trending. Forecasts were refreshed constantly, even though the answer stayed the same: cold.

Store hours, supply availability, and whether another grocery run was worth it all drove this search higher.

With limited options and lots of time at home, people searched for recipes, comfort food ideas, and delivery options.

Cold-weather essentials mixed with boredom shopping. When you're stuck inside, what else are you supposed to do? A Prime order was inevitable.

Catching up on your favorite creators and maybe even discovering a few new ones.

Pop culture still found its way in, with sports fans checking in on the outspoken UFC star (those pictures were gnarly).

This was an interesting one. I had to search who this was.
