This was the scene as temperatures plummeted from the low 40s into the lower 40s and finally dipped into the 30s causing many a resident to zipper their coat.
In the evening it worsened as flakes fell from the sky in rapid succession. We had our top reporters out on the road, and we can report that visibility was slightly decreased by the intensity of what some are dubbing the squall of the century. However, in a press conference, Washington Redskins owner Daniel Snyder has announced he will call it the squaw of the century.
The squall forced many to use their wipers and defrosters if they braved the conditions.
Dave Renz reported that many braved the storm to get salt...not sidewalk salt, as much as table salt. Others in the area prepared for the event by buying bread and milk. Clearly those seeking these sources of processed food and salt on a winter evening are addicted to the poisons that have become staples in the upside down US diet, and should probably read our health blog, Newtritarian.
Field reporter Brian Holden captured the fall out in the southern corner of the county.
The folks in this neighborhood were mostly waiting it out before tackling the remnants of the Squall of 2016. "We'll have time in the morning to deal with this mess," said Bob Castaldi.
All Chester County Schools are scheduled to be opening on time thanks to the efforts of the communities to clear the streets from the storm's dastardly doings. However, keep your eyes on the skies... We have a feeling many of you may not be risking a frigid commute on Monday.
Until next storm, be safe and be warm.
