If you had to report on the weather in the middle of a blizzard for hours, wouldn't you start yelling on air for coffee too?

After reporting in the thick of the winter storm that struck the East Coast this week, Tracie Strahan yelled toward anyone or any building she saw on a seemingly hopeless quest for coffee. She had been on the New Jersey shore since 3:00 a.m. and needed help.

Her knight in shining armor finally arrived, complete with a thermos and an amusingly thick accent.

When asked how he got there, 'Mikey Bones' answered, "Ya know I just put my truck in low gear, avoided the snow drifts, but just made it over. It just took 10 minutes longer than usual."

If he's chill about it, I'm chill about it, so long as I get to stay inside.

While they were certainly getting slapped in the face by the storm, it made for a happy ending to what felt like Strahan's suspense thriller. Mikey Bones will live on in our hearts forever.
