Jim Jones injected some humor into the brutal winter weather hitting the East Coast by reviving his viral alter ego, “Weavahman Jim,” to give a snow-packed update after Winter Storm Fern.
In a video posted on social media, Jim stood outside in the freezing cold, tape measure in hand, checking the fresh snowfall. The Harlem rapper estimated that as much as seven inches had fallen in under 24 hours, reacting with disbelief as he showed just how fast the snow had piled up.
“Pause pause ayooooo myself lol. My professional estimation is that we’ve received 5 to 7 inches of snow in less than 24 hours. The Hood n me says the snow fall is taller than your timberlands. Get the fuck out of here,” Jim wrote in the caption.
He also put out a call to followers across the city, asking them to head outside and send in their own snowfall measurements to help spread accurate updates.
“I need all my weather correspondence from around the city to go outside and measure the snowfall and DM me so we can post it,” he added. “Make sure the people get the right wravah reports so they know how to dress and don’t dress to impress. Don’t dress to get fresh stay warm and cozy jack out here kicking ass.”
Winter Storm Fern has swept through multiple East Coast states, dumping heavy snow, creating icy conditions, and causing travel disruptions. As residents battled freezing temperatures and slippery roads, Jim Jones’ humorous spin on the storm provided a welcome moment of relief from the chaos.
