The East Coast is about to get pummeled by a monster snowstorm. After the messiness of digging out cars and clearing walkways, I’ll be getting down to the real business of surviving a blizzard – binging on TV.

Take a look at the latest streaming statistics and stand back in awe. Not only do Americans stream a ton of media, but we do it thanks to remarkable speeds. Snowstorm or not, Americans love streaming media.
