TV stations across the Northeast were busy covering a blizzard that moved through the area.

The best news for people living in the impacted areas, is the fact that the massive storm hit on a weekend and not during the week.

Sadly, for those working in TV news, it meant all-hands-on-deck at many stations across the blizzard zone.

Boston stations had just about everyone report to work and that was proven by WHDH putting up a 12 person box.

NBC Boston was able to add an extra 3 Reporter and had 15 people in their box:

Some Reporters were carrying wind gages to show just how strong the wind was blowing?

WHDH’s Jonathan Hall just used a garbage bag as his visual tool.

Hall’s co-worker, Caroline Goggin didn’t use a stick to measure the snow, she stacked Dunkin Donuts coffee cups and the snow made it higher than 5 cups.

WWOR in New York made their job easy and simulcast the Fox Weather streaming service.

While WCBS, WNBC and WABC were in snow coverage, Fox O&O WNYW and Nexstar’s WPIX were showing infomercials and paid religion when we checked on them.

While many stations went wall to wall with coverage, some viewers were not impressed, with one TV viewer saying, "The last thing I want on the weekend is to watch TV that looks like a Zoom meeting."

Here are some other viewer comments from people that did not seem impressed:
