lol I thought you were criticizing this sentence: “Whether or not it’s snowstorms, ice storms or mixed events, I do feel this is going to be an active year for the Northeast,” he said.
That caught my eye because I read the bolded first and then read up. I didn't even notice the offending sentence. That one is indeed incorrect.
eta- I am a bit of a grammar nazi myself(mostly homophones), but I am more lenient in forum threads
