I guess one thing temps will be below freezing before, during and after the storm. So every flake will count. And I assume blowing and drifting will become a problem in exposed areas. Especially where I live. Plows are absent alot of the time on secondary roads including state Penndot plowed roads. And with the holiday on Monday, there will be no hurry to plow. But my wife is an essential US government employee that has to get to work in the wee hours of Monday morning.
Most of these local TV mets. know the area that they work in. They know the climatology of the area there forecasting for. Most have been on a certain tv station for many years. IMO this is a bad move by the media giants that own these stations.
This should be concerning to all of us in Pa. and the rest of the country especially in severe weather situations. We might ridicule them at times, but when they break in a program to inform us of a tornado on the ground or flood warning that there is a needed to inform us all of a life or death situation. The reason for getting rid of tv station meteorologists is to save money.
Just an FYI. The local media landscape is changing drastically and will continue to do so in the coming years. Many layoffs are to come, as smaller stations close down and local news becomes centralized to fewer locations. -Matthew
When do you think we will get a consensus on the final track and amounts, would it be tomorrow afternoon some time? Probably it will change several more times till Sunday. Hopefully it's not a big letdown in the end.
