Rain and snow are breaking out over the state tonight, most of it being on the light side. As of 8pm, it’s snowing in Erie and Bradford with some light rain around Brookville. Precipitation rates will intensify later tonight and into Wednesday, with snow falling north of I-80 much of the time.

Further south, [...]

Hope there's no collapse!

I came in to work on Saturday and got done with the 6 PM newscast and our director called me into the control room to show me an e-mail that he received.  It was entitled “We Can’t Complain!”

The e-mail consisted of a bunch of pictures and it also stated that all of the pictures were from 2011.  It said they were all taken in a place called Lead.  It’s in South Dakota.  It is located just off of I-90 near the border of Wyoming.  All of the pictures were taken in January of 2011.

Here are some of the pictures that were included in the e-mail.  Now, I don’t know the legitimacy of all of these pictures, but they’re all pretty cool either way.

Enjoy.

Update: Maxine commented that she received an e-mail with these pictures last year.  That confirms the legitimacy concerns that I had.  The pictures are, nevertheless, really amazing.  Thanks for the comment, Maxine.

Again, just want to clarify that some of these pictures could have been doctored.  Either way, they are really neat to look at and think about. (Read More)

Our clipper-type system is pretty much acting like expected with a general 1 to 3 inches overnight. Some portions of the Laurels and Northern Alleghenies could see 4 by midday tomorrow.

Then there’s more snow on the way later Friday and Saturday. It appears that an upper low will move right over us early [...]

Snow is on the way later this week, and the areas that had snow on the ground for Christmas will see their snowpack revived. For the rest, you will even get some of the white stuff.

Low pressure will move in from the west later Thursday and basically merge and reform along the coast [...]

I’ve posted this to our Facebook page, but wanted to share with you as well.� Here’s my current thoughts for a white Christmas…

Well, it’s looking more and more like the southern track is the way to go with this coming storm.� The storm is slowing down as well.� As of now, I’m gonna [...]

Think it was hot this past� weekend? Wait until this upcoming� weekend!

A big ridge of high pressure will build from the central plains to the east coast on Thursday and Friday, eventually pumping up high humidity and heat by the weekend. Highs on Friday and Saturday will exceed 90 in many spots, with [...]

10. You had to Google “Sunlight.”

 9. In your nightmares, you’re being chased by evil snow plows.

 8. You’re wife caught you sitting on your motorcycle and saying “Vroom! Vrooom!”

 7. You’ve given up getting mad at the borough plows for blocking the driveway.

 6. You’ve developed a latent hostility towards Florida and California.

 5. 30 degrees feels warm.

 4. You think snowflakes are actually space invaders.

 3. You dug through 58 inches of snow to remind yourself what grass looks like.

 2. You went out to the garage and fired up the lawn mower “just for old time’s sake.”

 And the number one way you know you’re done with winter…

 Your new name for the WJAC-TV Severe Weather Team is…

A widespread 1-3 inches of snow fell over the area last night into this morning with our weak system. A second patch of snow/mix is possible later this evening into tonight as the system pulls away. There could be up to 1-3 inches more snow added on to areas mainly SE of the Laurel [...]

With piles and spots of snow left from the storm on the 19th, it’s time to get the ground covered again. Looks like tomorrow will bring the chance of the ground becoming all white with a 2-4″ maybe up to 6″ snowfall in spots. A weak system will move across the area bringing with [...]
