Snowstorm hits Western Pennsylvania: See conditions in Washington, Pa.
AND I WILL SAY THAT MY BIGGEST PIECE OF ADVICE RIGHT NOW DO NOT GO OUT ON THE ROADS IF YOU DO NOT HAVE TO. THIS IS WHAT YOU’RE DEALING WITH. ROUTE 19, IN SOUTH STRABANE TOWNSHIP. IT IS HORRIBLE OUT HERE. LET ME JUST SAY I AM SO GLAD I AM NOT DRIVING THIS MORNING AND I’M GLAD IT’S MY PHOTOGRAPHER, DAVE, WHO I TRUST WITH MY LIFE RIGHT NOW. SO HE’S DOING A GREAT JOB. WHILE WE’RE OUT HERE ON THE ROADS. WE REALLY HAVEN’T SLEPT TOO MUCH. THAT’S BECAUSE WE’RE ONLY GOING ABOUT 18MPH IN A 40 MILE PER HOUR ZONE. SO TAKING IT NICE AND EASY, NICE AND SMOOTH THIS MORNING OUT HERE ON THE ROADWAYS. NOT TOO MANY CARS EITHER. I’VE ONLY SEEN A FEW, MOSTLY THE CARS THAT WE HAVE BEEN SEEING HAVE BEEN SALT TRUCKS, SALT PLOWS. THEY HAVE BEEN COMING THROUGH THIS AREA. BUT AGAIN THIS SNOW IS COMING DOWN SO QUICKLY THAT IT’S ALMOST LIKE THEY JUST CAN’T KEEP UP WITH IT, RIGHT? THAT’S WHAT WE’RE DEALING WITH. NOW. I WILL SAY FOR THE MOST PART, THIS OBVIOUSLY A MAIN ROAD THAT A LOT OF PEOPLE TAKE, 70 AND 79. WE’VE SEEN CREWS OUT THERE AS WELL. I’M GOING TO TRY TO PUT SOME OF THE HEAT ON OUR FRONT STEERING WHEEL HERE, SO YOU CAN GET A BETTER LOOK AT WHAT WE’RE DEALING WITH. I KNOW HE’S DEALING WITH SOME ICE ON THAT WINDSHIELD, SO JUST TRYING TO TURN UP THAT HEAT FOR HIM THERE THIS MORNING SO HE CAN SEE A LITTLE BIT BETTER. BUT AGAIN DEFINITELY TREACHEROUS CONDITIONS OUT HERE. WE’RE OBVIOUSLY AT A RED LIGHT. WE’VE SEEN THE SALT TRUCKS. THE PLOWS COME THROUGH THIS AREA TRYING TO CLEAR EVERYTHING. BUT REALLY JUST A DIFFICULT SITUATION FOR EVERYONE INVOLVED. SO MAKE SURE THAT YOU ARE STAYING SAFE. WHENEVER WE SPOKE TO EMERGENCY OFFICIALS EARLIER THIS WEEK, THEY TOLD US THAT 70 AND 79 ARE A TOP PRIORITY. THEY’RE GOING TO TRY TO KEEP THOSE CLEAR SO THAT IF THERE IS AN EMERGENCY, THEY CAN EASILY GET PEOPLE TO WHERE THEY NEED TO BE. BUT GUYS, AGAIN, IF YOU DO NOT HAVE TO BE OUT HERE ON THE ROADS, PLEASE DO NOT DO SO. WE’RE ONLY SHOWING YOU A LITTLE GLIMPSE HERE BECAUSE THERE REALLY AREN’T THAT MANY CARS HERE. SO WE’RE GOING TO KEEP YOU UPDATED. BUT F
