Winter Blast Rivals Blizzard Totals!

As we prepared our hard hitting fact filled investigation of how the Extreme Fair Weather projected to hit Arizona on Superbowl Sunday could impact play, breaking news interrupted our efforts.

Yet another Arctic Blast ripped through the area this evening, and although it came with less fanfare than The Snowmageddon series, it produced equally treacherous driving conditions.



West Chester Pa was as prepared as they could be, brining ahead of the storm.  But despite all the prep, roads still became wet with melted snow as the storm passed quickly through the area forcing those to ride it out for 90 minutes.


There were reports of a band of snow blowing across broad street this evening, but further investigation by weather watcher Nancy Ripley confirmed it was only a string band wrapping up New Years festivities.




Satellite images show we were once again spared the brunt of the storm as the mother load passed just north of us.

While roads were just wet, elevated surfaces such as trash can lids and picnic tables remain slick with rapidly accumulating coatings... We recommend avoiding driving across such surfaces.  And under severe conditions as these, we advise not letting your Littlest Pet Shop Pets (tm) out for extended periods of time. 

Stay tuned for reports of Extreme Fair Weather expected in Arizona on Sunday, and how 2 foul weather teams plan on dealing with it.  Also, we gear up for what COULD be Snowmageddon 4.0, starting Sunday into Monday!
