Netlfix, Hulu, HBO, Showtime, Amazon Prime Video — the list of streaming services area residents are using today goes on and on.

“We definitely see a spike in the use of our services in cases like today where people are confined to their home because of the frigid temperatures,” said Mike Hogan, spokesman for Spectrum.

“Our networks are designed to meet high demand caused by all sorts of reasons, whether it be breaking news, sports or weather,” Hogan said.
