Wild Turkey Posted January 31, 2011 Share Posted January 31, 2011 John Elliot on CBS 2 just said 4-6'' for the city for the entire event for whatever it's worth.. I was very disappointed with the local weathermen on CBS, NBC, and ABC this morning. Not a single met emphasized the very real possibility of a significant icing event for large portions of the forecast area. All you heard was basically "A couple inches of snow, then some sleet, and eventually just plain rain." That might be the forecast for *some* portion of the forecast area, but it ill-prepares anyone west of the Hudson and north of I-78 for the potential (likely?) scenarios involving significant icing.

Guest Patrick Posted January 31, 2011 Share Posted January 31, 2011 Thought it would be good to start this before the storm threads fill up with "Janice Huff said...," "Bill Evans said.." etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
