    Well I have been working New Jersey (NYC) area the last couple of days and they are running out of room to pile the snow up here and also they are having shortages of salt with some townships having to go without. I will say that there are plow trucks everywhere though.

    they have thousands of tons of salt but Homeland security has it tied up in Maine I think it is.. on a foreign flagged ship which is a no no.

    Either a week or ten days, depending on which old wife you ask. :)

    As with almost all "old-wives tales" and urban legends, there is some science to back it up.

    Here is what Greg Fishel said during a Q&A session:

    Big Weather has said on Bob and The Showgram the same thing 8-10 days on Average after a winter thunderstorm we expect some wintery precipitation. Happened on the show just before the first snow fall of this year. Bob was excited about it. I think it was more like 12 days prior to the snow, but regardless BW said it was an average.

    Ok, C me Now BMM, is that good enough for you?

    If not, maybe you need to take a course in meteorology youself.

    Actually Al is still a Meteorologist, he just let his Seal expire.

    Sherry

    He holds an expired American Meteorological Society Television Seal, #238.

    He is the recipient of the American Meteorological Society’s prestigious Seal of Approval.

    3. Does the NWA seal deem one a meteorologist by the meteorological community?

    The NWA seal by itself does not classify one as a meteorologist. The NWA seal is a "weathercasters" seal and is thus named so.

    Al is what he deposited in his trousers on air awhile back.. Such a spineless hack

    I may not like him either, but none the less he is still a Meteorologist.

    Forecast for Wednesday 2/26/2014
    Mostly cloudy to partly sunny and becoming windy with some rain or snow possible early in the day. Cooler with highs in the 40s. Low pressure passing by south and east of us may produce some areas of rain or snow in the morning, with any snow mainly for the northwestern half or so of the viewing area. Little if any accumulation appears likely, and skies should brighten in the afternoon.

    Amazing!

    Out of the 4-5 weather sites I've seen today WRAL is the only one talking about a possible wintry mix.
