Noreaster07 Posted February 2, 2011 Share Posted February 2, 2011 The 11PM news was the key. By the AM news, the damage will be done and you won't need local news to tell you about something coming. easpecially if the power is out by morning Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
96blizz Posted February 2, 2011 Share Posted February 2, 2011 The 11PM news was the key. By the AM news, the damage will be done and you won't need local news to tell you about something coming. Very true Ray. By the way, love your posts and analysis as does my wife (as she is a professor at The College of New Jersey) since you've given her a lot of days off in the TTN area! Back on topic --- getting that warning out by the NWS was huge at 11PM for the school cancellations, etc. here in PHL and Delco. 26.4 degrees with the FRZ rain picking up. This could get ugly. Jacking up the oil heat a bit higher than usual prior to hitting the pillow! Of course I can't sleep since I tracked this thing for a week and want to see the end result.

White_Mtn_Wx Posted February 2, 2011 Share Posted February 2, 2011 The 11PM news was the key. By the AM news, the damage will be done and you won't need local news to tell you about something coming. Love ya fam but to be brutally honest, in a perfect world 11pm YESTERDAY should have been the key. What can people do now to prepare if dire wx hits them between now and 6am?

bridge Posted February 2, 2011 Share Posted February 2, 2011 Had a few ZR shows pass through here resulting in a glazing of ice on almost all elevated surfaces, but roads and treated sidewalks are just wet.
