Here’s this week’s trivia questions, in video form… This week, we’re talking about winter weather watches and warnings. Remember watches mean conditions are possible, while warnings mean that conditions are happening. That should help you answer the questions in the video.
Our coldest air of the season so far will follow a storm system moving through the area over the weekend. Snow showers will be likely Monday and Tuesday as very cold air flows over the Great Lakes. Another chance of snow is in the cards for late Wednesday and Thursday with a clipper system. [...] Good Soakers! The rainfall today was certainly good news for our drought conditions in west central PA, with many spots picking up about 1 inch! After this latest system swings through, colder air will filter into the state and set us up for a chilly rest of the week. Snow showers and flurries will [...] Just a quick update to mention current rain totals as of 11:00 AM on Monday. Locally, it looks like our big winner so far is Indiana with over an inch of rain. We still expect more rain to fall as the day goes on. Be sure to watch Channel 6 News at 5, 6, [...] …we’ve got answers! I know, I know. That was the slogan for Radio Shack a while ago, but now we’ve adopted it for the blog. Take a look at the top right hand corner of the screen. You should see four blue boxes and a yellow button. That’s where you can ask us a [...] …from the archives: I was leaving Thanksgiving dinner at home and my uncle asks “Are you doing a hunting forecast this year?” I replied with a “yes, and don’t worry, I’ll make sure to give wind direction and wind speed.” He said “What about the barometer, whether its falling or rising?” He [...] Snow, then no!After this weekend’s impressive clipper system dropped as much as a half foot of snow across west central PA, temperatures will rebound nicely for the middle of the week. A warm front will lift northward through Tuesday, producing a few showers before the warm air floods into the state for Wednesday. The [...] Here’s a little information if you’re an avid skier. Most of the information is from the local resort websites or their information hotline. If you’re looking for more information, visit the 7 Springs website or the Hidden Valley website. Here’s the video from Weather Plus… I walked into the studio this morning to the succulent smells of a cooked turkey. I didn’t think I was hungry, but instantly, my mouth started to water. Luckily, I was able to find some leftover turkey. It was up in the newsroom. So, why was there turkey cooking in the studio? Well, there [...] A week or two ago, I asked the question in the poll “If you had your way, when would the first snowflakes fall?” I let the poll go until it hit 50 votes. Here’s what you had to say.
By the looks of the survey, it seems like the majority, 30%(by one [...] Alright… just as predicted, some of us ended up with snow. Most of those people are in the northern part of the viewing area. Have a look at the graphic. This shows just 5 locations across the Alleghenies, but the idea is the further northeast you were, the more snow you picked up. Some [...] I know it’s been almost a week since our visit, but I just haven’t gotten a chance to put up anything about the visit to the Bedford Senior Center. Thanks to Mick for inviting us, once again. This time, it was Rich Klindworth and I that took the trip up to Bedford. We talked [...] Here’s Meteorologist Tony Martin’s Weather Overview as seen on WJAC-TV’s WeatherPlus.
The Lake Effect Snow Machine has started up across the Alleghenies. Temperatures across the lakes are really warm and the air moving across is much colder. That, along with the fetch of the winds, elevation, and wind shear all affect lake effect. Get all the details in this Weather Plus exclusive:
Ups and downs! After some areas received their first plowable snow Friday and Saturday, we’re enjoying a nice break early this week with highs ranging through the 50′s. Also with this warm-up comes some rain and it will be heavy at times Monday night and Wednesday afternoon, both with cold fronts. The latter of [...] I did this last year, but that part of the blog isn’t easily accessible, so let’s do it again…Here’s a list of some PennDOT Winter Facts (facts taken directly from ‘PennDOT’s Playbook’):15 – Snow Blowers112 – Anti-Icing Units 2,250 – Trucks, Plows, and Salt Spreaders 5,000 – Approximate Number of Department Employees Licensed to [...] Here’s the video to go along with the latest Weather Overview. You can see this on Weather Plus, too. We’ll be giving you Video Weather Overviews from time to time. I may have mentioned this somewhere on here already, but now it is official… This past October was the warmest one on record for the state of Pennsylvania. Look at the graph to the right. I circled in green what I thought was the most important aspect of the graph… the fact that [...] Every year, we tell viewers to go to our website to see current weather conditions, school closings, watches and warnings, and to check the latest on area roadways. This year, PennDOT has updated their website with all kinds of great tools. Just what can you do on their new website? Here’s a list: [...] It’s Here!Our first run-in with colder weather is on our doorstep, with a cold front poised to move through tonight and early Tuesday morning.
