Weather Channel reporter mocked for gender-neutral ‘snowperson’
Weather Channel reporter Mike Seidel was mocked on Twitter for bringing woke politics to his weather reports, after he called a snowman a “snowperson.”
“1st snowperson of the season and the 2nd snowfall in less than a week in Nashua, NH,” he tweeted on Monday, presumably deploying the gender-neutral term ‘snowperson’ to avoid triggering all the snowwomen and non-binary snowtranssexuals out there.
1st snowperson of the season and the 2nd snowfall in less than a week in Nashua, NH. Thanks to @TheMattSaffer for the eyes, nose, etc.

Seidel’s uber-2018 language was instantly mocked on Twitter. “Frosty the Snowperson...just doesn’t have the same ring to it,” one commenter wrote.
Or “Ice Being” might work!
