Ask anybody around Brookhaven and they will tell you their little town is No. 1.
Now they have another crown to brag about as well.
Brookhaven took the title of snow champ during Tuesday's storm, when 14.8 inches fell in their little town. That allowed them to edge Media, which registered 14.2 inches of snow, and Clifton Heights, at 13.9.
Unfortunately, the snow and cold also took a deadly toll. At least three deaths here in the county are being blamed on the weather. You can get the details here.
Now for even more bad news.
This time the "polar vortex" has decided to stick around.
The bitter cold is expected to be here through Saturday, when we will get a brief respite with temperatures in the 30s. The down side to that is that they're also calling for snow flurries. Bitter cold will kick right back in on Sunday and our next snow storm is due sometime on Monday.
The National Weather Service actually is calling for this nasty weather to hang around for a couple of weeks.
We have now seen 33 inches of snow fall on the region. The average for an entire winter season is only 22. 2 inches. For the first time in history, we've now recorded three snow storms of more than 6 inches before Feb. 1.
That's right, we still have all of February to go, And there are no guarantees in March either.
