The "bomb cyclone" (http://mashable.com/2018/01/03/what-is-a-bomb-cyclone-weather-bomb/) winter storm dumping snow all over the East Coast (http://%22bombcyclone%22storm) might conjure images of potential nuclear war (http://mashable.com/2018/01/02/donald-trump-kim-jong-un-nuclear-button-brag/) for some of us. For others, it conjures images of potential romance.
Per some new data insights sent over from Hinge, the dating app has seen a surge in activity over the past two days. Ahead of the storm on Wednesday, usage was up 27 percent, and on Thursday morning it saw a 16 percent surge. In the hours since, the app has seen an 11 percent spike.

During the blizzard of 2017 back in March, the app says it saw a huge increase in number of conversations – 10 times the average for that time (http://mashable.com/2017/03/14/hinge-stella-blizzard-dating/).
