New Yorkers are flocking to Craigslist to find 'blizzard boyfriends' and girlfriends for winter storm Jonas

Winter storm Jonas is fast approaching and New Yorkers want to be prepared.

Romantically, that is. Many New Yorkers are hitting Craigslist and posting ads in search of hookups to keep warm and busy during the potential snow storm this weekend. 

Here's a charming ad for "Snow Cuddles," from a man seeking a woman in Astoria, Queens. While he thinks the storm will probably be a "let-down," the promise of wine, scotch, hot chocolate, and food, sounds pretty decent.

Not all of the ads are so, shall we say, wholesome. Fair warning, some of the links ahead could be considered NSFW. 

"If you can host and want to make a little 'storm' of our own, let me know," begins this ad entitled "Fun Before the Storm."

There is also no shortage of wintry wordplay in many of the ads. 

"Let's meetup and heat things up so much the snow will melt when it gets here," writes another Craigslister seeking a snow buddy

This isn't the first time people have turned to Craigslist to find a little winter storm action. During last years anti-climactic blizzard, many folks posted similar ads on the website looking for love, or at least a little snow day companionship. 

Jonas isn't scheduled to hit New York City until this weekend, so we can only imagine these ads are going to multiply as people prepare to hunker down for what could potentially be a snowy few days. If you're looking to find your own blizzard boyfriend or girlfriend, you can check out the ads here.
