It’s 6 a.m. Do you know where your ice scraper is?
Yes, it is still January. And that means lousy weather. If for some reason you have not been near a TV or radio yet this morning, or if, even better, you haven’t crawled out from under the covers this morning, let me deliver the bad news.
We are going to have another weather ‘event’ this morning. I’ll try to break it down for you without scaring you to death. I’ll leave that to our good friends in the TV end of the biz.
This is supposed to start this morning as some snow flurries. Don’t panic. This is not a big storm. We likely will not even get what we saw on Friday. The big problem with this one is the potential for it changing over to a light rain later this morning. That could mean ice, and that would likely turn the roads into skating rinks.
Eventually as temperatures rise during the day, this is going to change over to mostly rain.
But before we get to that point this afternoon, this could be an adventure on the roads.
PennDOT has their full armada of trucks ready to roll for salting procedures.
Right now it’s not really doing much of anything here in beautiful downtown Primos. That likely will change later this morning.
There are not a lot of things I am usually grateful for working this insane shift. But this one always stands out. There is almost no one out on the roads when I drive in. That comes in handy during bad weather. I had the misfortune of trying to get to a doctor’s appointment late Friday afternoon, at the height of the little storm that left us with a coating of snow. You would have thought it was Armageddon. People just panic at the first sight of snow. Everybody and their mother must have poured out of their offices at the same time. It took forever to reach my destination, which I made just minutes before the office closed.
All of which is to say that if you have a normal schedule, you can expect something of an adventure getting to work or school this morning.
Good luck.
