Social media users could not help themselves after a weather forecaster shared the map of a winter storm that appeared phallic to many, leading to a slew of suggestive jokes.
The post by AccuWeather to X on Thursday depicted the path of an icy storm headed for the Midwest and East Coast. The outlet said that the path of the storm spanned about 1,500 miles from Kansas to Virginia.

However, the shape of the map was what really caught the attention of many users, who thought that the image resembled the outline of a penis.
This led to a barrage of jokes from users. "If that's the size when it's cold I'd hate to see what warm weather brings," another user wrote.

If this storm lasts longer than four hours be sure to contact your doctor.

"Looks like a large portion of the country is really getting the shaft," another user joked. "Big talk but I bet it lasts 15 minutes," one user added.

The angle makes this look bigger than its actual size.

Meanwhile, several users jokingly added that there was "no way" AccuWeather did not expect this type of reaction from users over the phallic publicity stunt.
Does the Accuweather social media intern need to be spoken to?

It’s not WeatherHub!
Really. You knew what you were doing when you posted this.
