LET’S GO RIGHT OVER TO THE METEOROLOGIST IN THE HOUSE. GOOD MORNING EVERYONE. IT HAS BEEN QUITE A STORM. IT CERTAINLY HAS A VERY COMPLEX STORM. WE HAD FREEZING RAIN AND SLEET AND WE HAD SNOW. AND I’LL EXPLAIN WHY WE SAW THOSE THREE TYPES OF PRECIPITATION WITH YESTERDAY’S STORM. AND NOW AS WE MOVE FORWARD, WE’RE GOING TO BE LOOKING AT BLOWING AND DRIFTING SNOW BEING OUR MAIN CONCERN TODAY. THE STORM HAS MOVED OUT. YOU SEE IT IS DRY ON OUR STORM TEAM LIVE RADAR NETWORK AND IT’S MOSTLY CLOUDY RIGHT NOW. THAT’S HELPING TO KEEP OUR TEMPERATURES UP. IT’S 19 IN LEBANON, 15 IN YORK, 17 IN CHAMBERSBURG, AND THESE NUMBERS ARE GOING TO BE WARM COMPARED TO THE NUMBERS YOU’LL SEE IN THE MORNINGS OVER THE NEXT COUPLE OF DAYS.

SO IF YOU CAN CLEAR YOUR SIDEWALKS, IN YOUR DRIVEWAYS AND MAYBE A LITTLE BIT OF SUN WILL HELP US OUT THIS AFTERNOON, DO THAT TODAY BECAUSE WE ARE UNDER A COLD WEATHER ADVISORY TONIGHT AND OVERNIGHT WIND CHILLS. THEY COULD BE SUBZERO WELL BELOW ZERO. WE’
