The Best Tweets Mocking CNN Anchor Don Lemon's Ridiculous 'Blizzardmobile'

Cable news channels pulled out all the stops for their coverage of Monday night's supposedly historic blizzard. But it was clear by Tuesday morning that they'd gone overboard, and no single news personality was singled out for derision more than CNN's Don Lemon.

Over the course of CNN's late-night coverage, weather experts repeatedly noted that New York City could be spared the worst of the storm and may see far less snow accumulation than the approximately two feet originally predicted.

Still, Lemon rode through the largely deserted streets of the city in what the channel a "Blizzardmobile." He repeatedly noted that any non-emergency vehicle driving on the street in New York after 11 p.m. was breaking the law.

Almost every network had a car kitted out with cameras to broadcast their correspondent driving through the snow.
